Because different types of waste products exist, you'll find different types of landfills. The Environmental Protection Agency requires different handling methods for specific waste types. Industrial landfills, for example, process waste that industries produce. Landfill operators obtain licenses that permit them to handle a specific waste type. All hazardous waste must go into a CCRA Subtitle C landfill. Regular municipal waste, on the other hand, goes into "RCRA Subtitle D" landfills
