Definition


A landfill site for non-hazardous waste can accept municipal waste along with non-hazardous wastes (including inert wastes) of any other origin. There are no numerical WAC limits for landfills for non-hazardous waste. This means there is no limit on the organic content of an individual waste stream accepted at a landfill for non-hazardous waste. They key requirement is to ensure the waste is not hazardous.

Generally speaking, no testing (compositional testing or WAC testing) of the non-hazardous waste needs to be carried out prior to disposal in a landfill for non-hazardous waste.
