How a daily cover is applied can definitely influence how waste is placed the following day. Materials like reusable tarps or synthetic liners must be removed before new waste is added, which requires careful handling to avoid disrupting the landfill surface.
Spray-on foams or organic covers that remain in place can affect compaction and spreading because operators must work around the existing layer. Proper planning ensures that the cover does not interfere with equipment movement or the smooth placement of new waste. Operators often adjust the thickness, location, or type of cover to make the next day’s operations more efficient.
