Rusiefa landfill is located on the north east of Amman, the capital of Jordan. The
landfill was opened in 1987, and served around one fourth of million of capita. A serious of
environmental problems occurred at Rusiefa landfill.
Ghabawai landfill was selected for a short-term period (15-25 years), and Mshash landfill for a
long-term period (25-50years), as new location for solid waste disposal sites. A series of scientific
studies were done as to select the best new location of new sanitary landfill of solid wastes.
Many factors control the selection of solid wastes disposal sites, such as, environmental
protection of surface and ground water resources by pollutants like leachates, characteristics of
geological layers, type and depths of aquifers, climatological data, capacity and the access to the
landfill.
Ghabawi landfill has an area of 2000dunums(1dumum=1000m2), and it was divided into cells in
order to facilate the dumpimg process.
Particular attention was given to the access point to each cell. Whereas, it is important that the
access routes do not put the liner at risk. Typical access ramps would be up to 6m in width, and have
slopes up to 10%.
In order to collect the biogases and the leachates, that generate from the solid wastes, a set of
different pipes were settled at the base of the land fill. In addition of geomembrane, made up of
HDPE material, was used as lining material
