waste acceptance

Approval will also be sought to the development of a waste acceptance policy.

A standard waste acceptance procedure is laid down so as to avoid any risks:

We are continuing work on developing a nationally consistent approach to landfill waste acceptance criteria.

To help monitor landfill waste acceptance criteria.

To avoid further risks, allowed wastes are subject to a standard waste acceptance procedure, which dictates the following terms:

All waste destined for landfill must meet Waste Acceptance Criteria.

There is also considerable delay in achieving agreement within the EC on waste acceptance criteria for the different classes of landfill.

A range of topics are being considered in a second group of standards including; biosolids to land, landfill waste acceptance criteria and septic tanks.

Waste acceptance criteria are required for a wider range of contaminants (e.g. copper, zinc, boron).

During the period of hazardous waste acceptance the site accumulated a large quantity of volatile organic compounds and metal slugs.

You must not use landfill waste acceptance criteria (WAC) results for waste classification purposes.

Waste that is to be disposed of at WIPP must meet certain "waste acceptance criteria".

This guide will include waste acceptance criteria for a larger range of contaminants than those listed in Appendix 5 of the 2000 Landfill Guidelines.

Prior to waste acceptance, an analysis of the contaminated material must be undertaken by a National Australian Testing Authority (NATA) approved chemical laboratory.

One problem that has been identified is that the waste acceptance criteria recommended in Appendix 5 of the Landfill Guidelines is limited to a small range of contaminants.

Guidelines for the Management of Hazardous Waste Module 2: Landfill Waste Acceptance Criteria and Landfill Classification (Draft)

This guide has been prepared to help councils and cleanfill operators by providing a national definition for cleanfills, defining appropriate waste acceptance criteria, and advising best practice methods for managing cleanfills.

The analysis is needed to demonstrate that as a hazardous waste, or a stable, non reactive hazardous waste, or an inert waste, any load of waste meets the appropriate landfill waste acceptance criteria.

A draft guide on landfill waste acceptance criteria and classification will be posted on our web page as the 2nd Module of the Guidelines for the Management of Hazardous waste by the end of July.

Also closed Thursday: Brown Station Road Sanitary Landfill, Brown Station Road Public Convenience Center, electronics recycling acceptance site, household hazardous waste acceptance site, Missouri Avenue Solid Waste and Recycling Center.

The delays encountered as regards the selection of the final storage site in Italy and the resulting waste acceptance criteria have prompted the Commission to modify its strategy and programming in Italy without increasing the total cost or causing any serious delay in implementation.

Under the Landfill Directive (1999/31/EC), landfills are classified according to whether they can accept hazardous, non-hazardous or inert wastes and wastes can only be accepted at a landfill if they meet the waste acceptance criteria (WAC) for that class of landfill.
