Some daily cover materials can be reused the next day, depending on their type and condition. Reusable synthetic liners and reinforced tarps are designed to be rolled out over the waste, removed the following morning, and stored until they are needed again. This allows operators to save on material costs and reduce the volume of cover needed.
Materials that are sprayed on, like foams, or loose organic debris typically cannot be reused and become part of the landfill mass. Reusable covers require careful handling to prevent tearing or contamination, and operators must ensure they are properly cleaned and secured between uses.
