Have we ever observed unique ecosystems and specific adaptations of wildlife in landfills?

Landfills have been around for a long time now, and some of them get quite large. I know seagulls are changing their habits and living off landfills, but are there any other interesting ecosystems forming around them? Maybe some new microorganisms we haven't seen before?
