Actually “Sanitary Landfill” is an Oxymoron NOT a paradox.
The best way to understand if a figure of speech is an oxymoron is to look, they come in two words. The first word and the second word used in an oxymoron will have completely different meanings. The two words stand opposite to each other."
Paradox consists of a whole sentence. Oxymoron on the other hand comes with only two words that contradicts itself. In simple words, Paradox is considered to be an action that is contradictory and oxymoron is a description of a phrase, which is contradictory.
