Abstract
A method of increasing the capacity of an existing landfill to enable the disposal of additional material therein includes excavating a given volume of material disposed in the existing landfill, comminuting the excavated material sufficiently to permit its close packed disposal in a volume less than the given volume, and placing the excavated, comminuted material back within the landfill.
