Organic discards‚ such as food scraps‚ manures and grass clippings‚ under wet and oxygen-limited or anaerobic conditions‚ produce methane. When waste ends up in landfill‚ the methane gas can be produced for years due to the decaying organic matter and escapes from landfills either directly to the atmosphere or by diffusion through the cover soil.
