Landfill site work performance based on residents perceptions of environmental impacts: case study in Malaysia

The disposal of solid waste using landfilling method has become a critical issue in Malaysia especially when concerning their impact towards environment. Eventhough the landfilling strategy applied in Malaysia is a very much improved version; gas and leachate produced from the landfill site still ga...
