The foul odour generated from the waste was reduced to a larger extent due to the aerobic condition existed within the pits. This is further substantiated in a report by Read. et. al.[2001] where the odour from an aerobic site is said to be less pungent than compared to an anaerobic site. This may be due to the fact that aeration helps in improving several aspects of leachate quality, such as biological oxygen demand (BOD5), chemical oxygen demand (COD), concentrations of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other contaminants including hydrogen sulphides [Rich ,C et al.2008]. It is noted that a daily cover of soil, compost (which can be externally added), or other additives such as coir pit, chemical inoculants or earthworms (vermicomposting) can reduce the foul odour generated from waste. When the foul smell is reduced/avoided, other nuisances such as presence of crows and dogs feeding on the waste also gets reduced. But as this can be a serious problem on typical landscaped landfill sites, cover provision needs to be streamlined and systematically enforced. A temporary covering and fencing the site can be done to avoid the nuisance from crows and dogs entering the site. This covering can be taken off once the complete degradation of the waste is done. Also covering can help the site during rains which otherwise increases the moisture content and eventually slows the degradation rate. Other solutions to reduce the foul odour are to add compost/earthworms or chemical inoculants or coir pit as additives. Additives thus added which has a high C/N ratio adjusts the low C/N ratio of the waste thereby making the waste decomposition faster. But chemical composition of coir pith discussed does not allow it to degrade by itself which in turn adds on to the density of the substrate. Whereas, adding additives like chemical inoculants or compost/earthworms can bring in the advantage of reducing the odour problem without making the substrate much dense.
