Reality
The Mazatlán municipal dump is already at 98% of its capacity and it is estimated that at any moment there will be no space to deposit the solid urban waste generated by the city.
Currently, Mazatlán generates 604 tons of garbage on a daily average. In the dump there are 300 collectors that operate in the space where the waste is deposited.
A sanitary landfill consists of depositing solid waste on the ground, which is spread and compacted until it is reduced to the maximum so that it occupies little space; Later they are covered with a layer of earth and compacted again .
