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].
Capacity Inert Landfill
The capacity of Inert Landfill is reported[3] by the EA for England and is summarised in the graph and table below. There were 160 sites reported in 2020, an increase of 1 on 2020, but an increase in overall capacity from 122.1 million cubic metres in 2019 to 140.2 million cubic metres in 2020.
