leachate collection system

A leachate collection system is a setup within a landfill designed to manage and remove leachate, which is the liquid that drains from waste materials as they break down. This system typically includes a series of pipes, drains, and barriers that capture the contaminated liquid before it can seep into the soil or groundwater. The collected leachate is then treated or safely disposed of to prevent environmental contamination. Overall, it’s an essential part of landfill design that helps protect the environment and public health by controlling hazardous liquids generated from waste decomposition.
