Assessment of the Characteristics of Nyanza Landfill Leachate, Rwanda

This paper had the objective of analyzing and characterizing the leachate from Nyanza landfill. The results revealed that the composition of the leachate is changeable according to the nature, the deposit time, and the climatic change. Leachate collected in the middle of landfill is categorized in the phase III of acid formation while the leachate collected from the exit is classified in the phase IV of methane formation and reasons for this variability are mainly waste nature, the deposit time, and the climate changes.
