Waste cannot be disposed of at a [[Landfill]] unless it meets the relevant Waste Acceptance Criteria for the specific type of [[Landfill]] appropriate for the waste type. The ~~Waste Acceptance Criteria (WAC) are~~ limits ~~that~~ have been derived by modelling the impacts of a typical [[Landfill]] on groundwater and are thus aimed at avoiding groundwater pollution<ref name="foo">Defra, 2010.

EU Council Decision 2003/33/EC establishing criteria for the acceptance of waste at landfill specifies waste acceptance criteria for [[Inert Waste|Inert]], [[Non-Hazardous Waste|non-hazardous]] and [[Hazardous Waste|hazardous waste]]. These are<ref>Waste Acceptance at Landfills, Environment Agency</ref>:
