The capacity of Non-Hazardous Landfill is reported<ref>[https://data.gov.uk/dataset/237825cb-dc10-4c53-8446-1bcd35614c12/remaining-landfill-capacity EA Remaining Landfill Capacity]</ref> by the [[EA]] for England and is summarised in the graph and table below, but it excludes that capacity of Non-Hazardous Landfill with a Stabilised Non-Reactive Hazardous Waste cell (which comprised 89.4 million cubic metres in 2015 dropping to 69.4 million cubic metres in 2019 and 67 million cubic metres in 2020 - which is summarised on the [[Hazardous Landfill]] page). Note that Non-Hazardous Landfill also provides [[Landfill]] capacity for [[Inert Waste]] in the sense that these waste are used for daily cover and site engineering purposes. | The capacity of Non-Hazardous Landfill is reported<ref>[https://data.gov.uk/dataset/237825cb-dc10-4c53-8446-1bcd35614c12/remaining-landfill-capacity EA Remaining Landfill Capacity]</ref> by the [[EA]] for England and is summarised in the graph and table below, but it excludes that capacity of Non-Hazardous Landfill with a Stabilised Non-Reactive Hazardous Waste cell (which comprised 89.4 million cubic metres in 2015 dropping to 69.4 million cubic metres in 2019 and 67 million cubic metres in 2020 - which is summarised on the [[Hazardous Landfill]] page).
