Copper should not be disposed of in landfill sites because it is non-biodegradable, leading to environmental impact such as contamination of groundwater. Additionally, copper is a valuable resource that can be recycled and re-used, making its disposal wasteful. ;

Disposing of copper in landfills causes environmental pollution by contaminating groundwater and wastes a valuable resource that can be recycled. Recycling copper conserves energy and natural resources. Therefore, it is essential to recycle copper instead of sending it to a landfill.
