Abstract: Actually, and with development economical and industrial, the waste disposal represents a serious problem if biogas emissions are not controlled [1]. Broadly, landfills are the most common, simple and economic methods to dispose the wastes [2]. The term ‘landfill’ is used herein to describe a unit operation for final disposal of MSW on land [3]. The cheapest method, in term of exploitation and capital cost, is landfilling comparatively with other methods (incineration, composting,..., etc) [4,5]. This method produces biogas emissions into the atmosphere. Decomposition of solid wastes may cause environmental problems, more especially if the biogas emissions are not controlled.
