Explain why so many local governments try to avoid constructing their own landfills and instead ship their municipal
  solid waste elsewhere for disposal.

 
  What will be an ideal response?

  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

For large cities, hauling waste away is almost always cheaper not only in the short run but also in the long
run. In the short run, it is expensive to construct landfills that meet Environment Protection Authority (EPA)

Answer to Question 2

Hazardous and radioactive wastes cannot be safely disposed of in a natural attenuation landfill because the leachate
would contaminate the groundwater.
