Sanitary landfill is still the most cost-effective and appropriate method for waste disposal in Iraq. The municipal solid waste has high moisture content of about 49.1% and density of 162.6 kg/m3. The organic fraction reaches about 79%. Based on the studies and reports of study area, the average waste generation rate was 0.45 kg/capita/day. The design of the base liner, leachate collection system, and final cover system for the study area landfill is described in this paper. Since the landfill is located in an arid environment, leachate generation is low and potential infiltration through the lining system is minimal. A 250 mm diameter drainage pipes have longitudinal slope 1% to reduce sedimentation and allow adequate flow capacity.
