NAICS Code 562212-02 Description (8-Digit)

Landfills-Sanitary is a subdivision of the Solid Waste Landfill industry that involves the disposal of non-hazardous waste in a controlled and safe manner. This industry is responsible for managing the waste generated by households, businesses, and industries. The main objective of Landfills-Sanitary is to prevent the contamination of the environment and protect public health by ensuring that the waste is properly contained and managed. The process of Landfills-Sanitary involves the excavation of a pit or trench in the ground, which is then lined with a protective barrier to prevent the waste from seeping into the soil and groundwater. The waste is then compacted and covered with a layer of soil to prevent odors and pests. The landfill is monitored regularly to ensure that the waste is not causing any harm to the environment or public health.

History

A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 562212-02 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

  • The "Landfills-Sanitary" industry has a long history dating back to ancient civilizations, where waste was disposed of in designated areas outside of city walls. In the 20th century, the industry saw significant advancements in the United States, with the introduction of sanitary landfills that were designed to minimize environmental impact. The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 established regulations for the management of hazardous waste, which led to the development of specialized landfills for hazardous waste. In recent years, the industry has focused on implementing sustainable practices, such as the use of renewable energy sources and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. For example, some landfills have implemented systems to capture methane gas produced by decomposing waste and convert it into energy.
