(A) prohibiting landfills to accept leaves,brush,and grass clippings
(B) prohibiting that landfills accept leaves,brush,and grass clippings
(C) prohibiting landfills from accepting leaves,brush,and grass clippings
(D) that leaves,brush,and grass clippings cannot be accepted in landfills

See bans can be used as a noun and as a verb(here is acts as prohibit). Here bans is used a noun and therefor it does not mean prohibit.
Also the idiom is prohibit X from Y and that is used in C.
(A) prohibiting landfills to accept leaves,brush,and grass clippings - wrong idiom
(B) prohibiting that landfills accept leaves,brush,and grass clippings - wrong idiom
(C) prohibiting landfills from accepting leaves,brush,and grass clippings
(D) that leaves,brush,and grass clippings cannot be accepted in landfills - C describes the meaning more clearly
(E) that landfills cannot accept leaves,brush,and grass clippings - C describes the meaning more clearly
