Only a Hazardous Landfill can accept [[Hazardous Waste]] for [[Landfill]] [[Disposal]] but only then if it meets the relevant standards for engineering and management controls and [[Waste Acceptance Criteria]] set out in the Annex to the Decision, but it may also be able to accept small quantities of [[ Inert Waste]].

There are numerical limit values for leachable inorganic substances, organic content along with standards for physical stability. These exist for both granular and monolithic hazardous waste. | There are numerical limit values for leachable inorganic substances, organic content along with standards for physical stability.
