Detailed Solution

Landfills are areas where waste is disposed of by burying it underground, and the process of decomposition of the waste generates methane, which can be captured and used as a source of energy. However, this process is not renewable because the waste buried in the landfill is not a renewable resource, and it is not sustainable to continue generating waste at the current rate.

Landfilling has a number of disadvantages as a method for managing Municipal Solid Waste, including being a costly method of waste management, potentially leading to the contamination of soil and water, generating greenhouse gases, and being a source of odors and pests. It is not a renewable source of energy.
