Discusses the effect the introduction of a landfill tax in 1996 will have on the waste management industry, with landfill businesses in favour of a weight-based tax, and operators of co-disposal landfills claiming the tax is likely to transfer environmental impacts from dealing with liquid wastes to surface waters. Looks at policy conflicts, effects on the environment, the weight-based tax, liquid waste market and power station residues.
