Hazardous Landfill

Only a Hazardous Landfill can accept Hazardous Waste for Landfill Disposal but only then if it meets the relevant standards for engineering and management controls and Waste Acceptance Criteria [1] set out in the legislation [2], but it may also be able to accept small quantities of Inert Waste. There are some restricted circumstances in which Non-hazardous Landfill can accept Hazardous Waste, these captured in the Non-Hazardous Landfill page in WikiWaste.

There are numerical limit values for leachable inorganic substances and organic content along with standards for physical stability. These exist for both granular and monolithic hazardous waste and this can lead to requirements to stabilise and treat the hazardous waste prior to landfilling.

This type of infrastructure provides the overview of Hazardous Landfill facilities for the UK, linking to individual pages for each facility that provides greater detail.
