Is sanitary landfills primarily used to dispose of recyclables?

No, sanitary landfills are not primarily used to dispose of recyclables. They are designed to safely contain non-recyclable waste, including municipal solid waste and hazardous materials, while minimizing environmental impact. Recyclables are typically processed separately to be reused or repurposed, reducing the amount of waste that ends up in landfills. Proper waste management practices encourage recycling and composting to divert materials from landfills.
