π What are the different types of Landfill? π¦
Inert (Non-leaching) | Non-hazardous - soil waste can usually be sent here | Hazardous - (Greater leaching potential) Non-reactive hazardous landfill is associated with soil contaminated with hazardous levels of #asbestos.
It's the #LongestDay of the year and we wanted to share with you some of the stunning sunsets we've captured on site. No chance of that today though, with the sun setting at around 9:20pm! π

Waste Acceptance Criteria (WAC) determines how types of waste are assigned to particular landfill.
The test analyses leaching ability of contaminants to identify how they'll act in landfill.
Soil waste must first be classified as non-hazardous or hazardous before WAC testing.
