Inert Landfill

From Wikiwaste

An Inert Landfill can only accept Inert Waste that meets the Directive definition of inert (Article 2(e)) and the relevant Waste Acceptance Criteria (WAC).

Arrangements

An Inert Landfill can only accept Inert Waste that meets the Directive definition of inert (Article 2(e)) and the relevant Waste Acceptance Criteria (WAC). WAC for Inert Waste is set out in paragraph 2.1 of the Annex to the EU Council Decision (1999/31/EC)[1]. The Decision provides a list of Inert Waste that can be accepted without testing where there is confidence that the waste is not contaminated, all other Inert Waste must be tested to demonstrate that they meet the leaching limit values given in the Decision for Landfill in an Inert Landfill[2]. The WikiWaste page Landfill frames this type of site and puts into a wider context of other types of Landfill.
