One way to efficiently clear a landfill without polluting the environment is through innovative techniques and technologies. Mechanical equipment, like excavators, can be used to minimize soil disturbance. Bioreactors can help with bioremediation of contaminated soils onsite while leachate management systems can collect and treat liquids released from the landfill. Also, implementing best practices for the management of solid waste like segregation of waste materials into manageable categories (e.g., biodegradable vs non-biodegradable) prior to disposal in the landfill will also help mitigate environmental risks. Furthermore, careful tracking devices that identify sources of pollution so that they can be contained or cleaned up quickly is essential for sustaining environmental harmony while clearing a landfill site.

Carefully disposing of the waste in a secure, contained space can reduce the potential for environmental pollution. Encapsulation or berming techniques are most efficient in containing pollutants and preventing environmental contamination. Removal of non-hazardous waste should also be conducted in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations as a means to reduce contamination of nearby air, soil and water. In addition, covering any remaining soils with clean soil or vegetation also further minimizes any potential pollution threats.
