Abstract: A system and method for enhanced leachate collection from a solid waste landfill site are provided. The landfill site can include, without limitation, one or more landfill waste layers, one or more leachate layers, a landfill liner layer, and a groundwater layer. A landfill gas well extends from the ground surface and passes down through the landfill waste layer and encounters a leachate layer within the waste mass. The well is configured to capture landfill gas and remove leachate from the leachate layer of the landfill site and transport it to the landfill surface. An airlift venturi pump can create venturi effect and generate discharge to deliver leachate to the landfill surface. The leachate can be piped to a gravity drain system, frac tank, collection sump or other onsite holding area, or transported to an approved offsite location for disposal.
