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[2].

The capacity of Inert Landfill is reported[3] by the EA for England and is summarised in the graph and table below:
