07. Delhi Landfills, New Delhi, India (500 Acres)
The city of New Delhi generates about 9,000 to 9,200 tons of municipal solid waste daily, according to the Municipal Council of Delhi (MCD). This waste is deposited in the Narela Bawana, Bhalswa, Okhla, and Ghazipur landfills, which have a combined acreage of 316. Except for Narela Bawana, the newest landfill, the others have been exhausted, though waste continues being dumped upon them. Bhalswa, which was to be closed when garbage reached to a height of 22 meters, still operates although garbage is now up to 41 meters.

06. Sudokwon, Incheon, South Korea (570 Acres)
Since its inception in 1992, the 4,292-acre Sudokwon landfill in Incheon, South Korea receives 18,000 to 20,000 tons of waste daily from Seoul, with a 22 million in population and the South Korean capital city. It’s the country’s largest landfill. The methane gas in the waste at the Sudokwon landfill is tapped to produce 50 megawatts of electric power, according to South Korea’s Ministry of Environment. The landfill also has a water recycling and desalination facility, and water recycled is used for irrigation and other purposes. Over 700,000 trees have been planted on the Sudokwon landfill, according to South Pole Carbon Asset Management Limited.

05. Puente Hills, Los Angeles, California, USA (630 Acres)
Over the course of three decades until its closure on October 31st, 2013, the Puente Hills landfill had received over 130 million tons of Los Angeles's municipal waste. It was also the nation’s largest landfill, and still retains an operational materials recovery facility. The landfill, according to the Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County (LACSD), had opened in 1957 as the privately owned San Gabriel Valley Dump. Over a year after its closure, on January 20th, 2015, the Puente Hills Landfill began accepting clean fill dirt for a period of 12 to 24 months. During its peak operations, the landfill could receive up to 13,200 tons of trash in a single day, according to LACSD. The methane gas the landfill generated was converted to turn a turbine that generated 50 megawatts of power, enough for 70,000 homes in Southern California.

04. Malagrotta, Rome, Italy (680 Acres)
The 618-acre Malagrotta Landfill in Rome, Italy has a holding capacity of 60 million tons. During the late Seventies, the landfill was an illegal dump, but was made legal in 1984. Daily, it receives between 4,500 and 5,000 tons of waste, making it the largest municipal solid waste facility in Europe, according to Environmental Justice Organizations, Liabilities, and Trade (EJOLT). The methane gas produced from decomposing waste there is tapped to be used for electricity and fuel. However, the site has caused considerable environmental damage in the Galeria Valley where it’s located.

03. Laogang, Shanghai, China (830 Acres)
At 892 acres in area and piled 20 meters high, the Laogang landfill in Shanghai City is one of the biggest in Asia. It receives up to 10,000 tons of municipal solid waste daily, half of the city’s total waste, according to the Shanghai Municipal Government. The methane gas from the landfill has been converted to annually generate 102,189 MW-hours of green energy that serves to power 100,000 homes.

02. Bordo Poniente, Mexico City, Mexico (927 Acres)
Until its closure in December of 2011, the 927-acre Bordo Poniente landfill in Mexico City received 12,000 of the 15,000 tons of waste generated in the city daily. It was the biggest landfill in Latin America, according to the Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives (GAIA). Bordo Poniente landfill, initially a dry lake bed, was established in 1985 to take debris from the 1985 Mexico City earthquake, according to the GAIA. An estimated 70 million tons of waste had been deposited there from the 21.2 million in population city over its life, according to a 2012 study by the University Of Mexico. Upon its closure, over 1,500 families who collected recyclable waste for reselling lost their jobs.

01. Apex Regional, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA (2,200 Acres)
The 2,200-acre Apex Regional Landfill in Las Vegas daily receives about 9,000 tons of municipal solid waste, though it can handle up to 15,000 tons daily. The landfill managed by Republic Services opened in 1993, and is the biggest in the US. It has a projected life of 250 years, according to the Review Journal, and holds about 50 million tons of waste. Methane gas from the landfill has resulted in generation of an 11-Megawatt power plant that can meet the energy needs of 10,000 households in Southern Nevada. The power generating plant was built at a cost of $35 million.
