N2  - A global issue that affects every region of the world today is the generation and efficient management of waste. In India, the outskirts of every city have become the site where a huge amount of waste is disposed. This study aims to use landfill mining techniques to reduce and reuse landfill waste. The current study presents the physical and chemical properties of landfill waste collected at various depths (0.5, 1.0, 1.5 m) of the landfill located at Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India. The objective of the current study is to demonstrate the application of collected waste material for geotechnical purposes such as backfilling and embankment construction. Using landfill waste as a filling material increases the economy and capacity of the landfill. The geotechnical properties such as water content, specific gravity, void ratio, particle size distribution, Atterberg limits, compaction, California bearing ratio test (CBR), shear strength, hydraulic conductivity, and consolidation are determined at the specified depths. Chemical properties such as pH, organic content, total dissolved solids (TDS), chloride, sulphate, heavy metals, and elemental analysis are also determined to evaluate the impact of landfill waste on the soil. Based on the experimental results, the material is suitable for backfilling (retaining wall, embankment construction, etc.). The experimental results are collated with various Indian cities such as Bangalore, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kadapa, and Varanasi, showing similar ranges with Raipur city. In addition, the capacity of the landfill was also calculated based on per capita for different landfills. The current study provides insight into the use of the existing landfill material for various civil engineering applications
