S.L. 549.29 Art. 8Waste acceptance criteria.

(1) Only waste that has been subject to treatment shall be landfilled. This provision does not apply to inert waste for which treatment is not technically feasible, nor to any other waste for which such treatment does not contribute to the objectives of these regulations, by reducing the quantity of the waste or the hazards to human health or the environment.The competent authority shall ensure that measures taken in accordance with this sub-regulation do not compromise the achievement of the objectives of the Waste Regulations, notably on the waste hierarchy and on the increase of preparing for re-use and recycling as set out in regulation 4A of those regulations.

(2) Only hazardous waste that fulfils the criteria set out in accordance with Schedule 2 shall be landfilled in a hazardous waste landfill.

(3) Only the following types of non-hazardous waste shall be landfilled at a non-hazardous waste landfill:

(a) municipal waste;

(b) non-hazardous waste of any other origin, which fulfils the criteria for the acceptance of waste at landfill for non-hazardous waste set out in accordance with Schedule 2;

(c) stable, non-reactive hazardous waste (e.g. solidified, vitrified), with leaching behaviour equivalent to those of the non-hazardous wastes referred to at paragraph

(b) which fulfils the relevant acceptance criteria set out in accordance with Schedule 2. These hazardous wastes shall not be deposited in cells destined for biodegradable non-hazardous waste.

(4) Inert waste landfill sites shall be used only for inert waste.
