All The data.gov data include information in various optional download formats including ShapeFiles, GML, MapInfo, CSV, etc. One would assume there are polygons included for landfills. One of my bug bears is that, in days gone by, the old landfill polygons related to the licensed area and not the waste void! Many a long and difficult discussion with clients and regulators on those! These seemed to change when things changed moving from WMLs to IPPC permits where the "installation" would be the waste void - not the entire demise.
