The landfills must be away from the Municipal Limits. The fills must have some sort of Plastic/PE sheet at the bottom of each fills so that when garbage is biodegraded it is not mixed with the underground water reservoirs.
In my opinion, the best is 1) Grading/Separation of the Garbage collected.
2) Generate Electricity from the Garbage which is the best solution to avoid any pollution.
3) If U have sea U may Desalinate water from the Electricity produced by the inceration of collected Garbage. U get three benefits in one go.

Sir, thanks for your comment. We see quite a comprehensive landfill engineering and operations guides and enforcing legislation in the UK and EU. How about that in Pakistan? Any idea of such policies in India?
You are prioritising landfilling. Can all of the MSW be recycled? If recycled materials are recycled and energy from residual waste is generated, is there still a need for landfilling? How do we deal with hazardous waste?
