A compaction wheel for landfill compactors which is fabricated as a two (2) piece assembly including a wheel core and a removable and replaceable outer sleeve. The outside surface of the removable and replaceable outer sleeve can be smooth or have cleats preassembled thereon. This is in contrast to known prior art compaction wheels for landfill compactors which are fabricated as an integral one (1) piece assembly. The compaction wheel for landfill compactors is fabricated as a two (2) piece assembly and allows a worn removable and replaceable outer sleeve to be quickly and easily removed in the field, if desired, and replaced with a new removable and replaceable outer sleeve without cutting into or removing material from the wheel core of the compaction wheel for landfill compactors. This is in contrast to known prior art compaction wheels for landfill compactors which generally require cutting into the wheel core when removing the worn outer portion which, in many cases, results in a reduction in the diameter of the compaction wheel for landfill compactors each time the outer portion of known prior art compaction wheels for landfill compactors is removed and replaced.
