landfill

1. (countable) A site at which refuse is buried under layers of earth.Examples: "A staff uniform recycling scheme at Govia Thameslink Railway has prevented the emission of 2,400kg of greenhouse gases. Some 620 sackloads of GTR clothing has been recycled in the past year through an advanced process called material reclamation - giving textiles a second chance instead of going to landfill."countable

2. (uncountable) Such material that is disposed.Examples: "If the bumf arrived electronically, the take-up rate was 0.1%. And for online adverts the “conversion” into sales was a minuscule 0.01%. That means about $165 billion was spent not on drumming up business, but on annoying people, creating landfill and cluttering spam filters."uncountable
