This is a temporary page for landfillinfosite.com.
Welcome to Landfillinfosite.com. This site is maintained by the Trotz research group in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of South Florida. In 2005 we received a grant from the Florida Center for Solid and Hazardous Waste to research treatment options for Arsenic in landfill leachate in Florida. Whilst this website must provide information on our research progress to satisfy grant requirements, we hope to expand its scope so that we provide useful information on landfills in general on the world wide web.
