Quantification, measurement of quality, post-treatment, and leachate control has been a significant problem due to the dumping of waste in an unscientific manner across the globe, and especially in developing countries like India. In this context, the objective of this study was to investigate the degradation of fresh mixed municipal solid waste (MSW) in an anaerobic landfill reactor operated with rainfall addition in laboratory conditions. Experiments were carried out in a landfill reactor of 1 m length × 1 m width × 1.1 m height. The reactor was simulated with 50 years weighted average actual rainfall rate of India. It contained the waste composition of 73% wet waste (food and kitchen) and 27% dry waste (paper, plastic, wood, textiles, and others). The leachate parameters were continually monitored for 39 weeks. In the fresh MSW landfill reactor it was evident that concentrations of leachate parameters were high initially, and there was a significant decrease in BOD5 (7041–39310 mg L−1), COD (15692–71630 mg L−1) and TS (9077–33200 mg L−1) in leachate. Therefore, rainfall had a direct influence on leachate quality. The developed first-order decay models were used for BOD5, COD, and total solids with adjusted R2 of 0.83, 0.92, and 0.96, respectively. Therefore, this model can be applied for leachate strength estimation at any given time from the period of deposition of waste under similar rainfall and waste compositions, and is largely applicable in India and tropical areas. This study is expected to be a good simulation for cities with the waste composition of high wet waste (>70%) as the estimations of important design parameters such as BOD5, COD, VFA, and NH4+-N were studied in this research. As the importance of moisture (precipitation) has been established in this study, some moisture additions can be designed in areas with low rainfall, such as arid zones.
