Is there a map that shows where all the landfills are? I have no idea where the landfill of my city is

http://www.atlas.d-waste.com looks like a good place to start. In the Data Category menu on the left side select Sanitary Landfill. Though I think this map only shows active landfills. I'm aware of a few old capped landfills that aren't shown on the map.
