Landfill Mining involves excavating old landfill sites to recover valuable materials and reclaim space. The process separates recyclable items, combustible materials for energy, and usable soil. It also allows for the removal or treatment of hazardous waste.

Machines are arranged in a conveyor-based system to excavate, sieve, and sort the waste efficiently. A secondary benefit is soil aeration, which improves the site’s potential for future use.
