As part of the strengthening of environmental infrastructure in the southern region of the country, the Urubamba landfill, located in Cusco, was built on a 4.7-hectare area with the capacity to store 225,000 m³ of solid waste for 10 years, benefiting more than 65,000 residents. The system incorporates geosynthetics as a fundamental part of its design, preventing leachate infiltration into the subsoil, preventing rainwater from entering, and mitigating odor emissions. It also optimizes the collection of leachate and gases generated by waste decomposition, resulting in faster and more cost-effective operation.
