Waste Facts Every hour in Britain enough waste is produced in Britain to fill a football stadium. Sometimes waste is put into landfills. This means that waste is put into large pits or holes such as disused mines or quarries. Landfill keeps the rubbish out of sight but there are worries that dangerous chemicals from the waste can seep through the rocks into the water supply. There are worries of a health risk to those living near the landfill sites. We are running out of landfill sites. Britain is required under European law to significantly reduce the amount of waste sent for landfill. Incineration is an alternative to landfills.
