Stabilised Non-Reactive Hazardous Waste

A Non-Hazardous Landfill can receive Stabilised Non-Reactive Hazardous Waste if certain criteria are met, including the requirement that any cell which receives this material is separated from cells receiving Biodegradable Waste. The most recent UK guidance on the Landfill Directive and the Landfill of Stabilised Non-Reactive Hazardous Waste sets out the requirements is LFD1 Understanding the Landfill Directive is published by the EA and referred to by the other regulatory bodies in the UK.

Two figures for possible separation of cells are included in the guidance and are repeated below:
