A brief guide to landfill waste acceptance criteria

Introduces the rules for accepting waste at landfills in England and Wales and gives the historical and legislative background. The landfill directive (Directive 99/31/EC) aims to reduce reliance on landfill as a disposal option, minimise its environmental and health impacts and ensure consistent pan EU standards by: setting minimum standards for the location, design, construction and operation of landfills, setting targets for diverting biodegradable municipal waste from landfills and controlling the nature of waste accepted by landfills. Provides links to "Key elements of landfill WAC" and to FAQs on the subject.
