Landfill is just another name for rubbish dump, or garbage tip. Just about every town in the world has one, and many cities have several. A few places have incinerators to burn their garbage, but unless they are very modern and efficient, incinerators just pollute the atmosphere instead of the ground.

One. The Earth has become one giant landfill area, man dumping carbon into the atmosphere and garbage into the sea. Every city, town, village and holding has a landfill of some kind.

If 50% of the Earths population lives in rural areas and each holding of 7 people has a landfill then there are 1 billion landfills in rural areas. Then add all those for urban areas...

It's impossible to know. Just about every town and city in the world has a landfill and many have more than one. Landfill, or rubbish dump, or trash has been the only way of disposing of garbage for thousands of years. It is only now that our landfills are filling up fast and we have to look around for new and better ways of dealing with garbage, such as recycling, reducing, reusing, extracting methane and organic waste for better uses etc.
