Classification, collection, landfill, incineration, composting, closure — and the aftercare that outlasts the site.
Overview
A landfill is the only structure a society builds intending to abandon, and then has to watch for decades. This guideline is the international edition of source regulation PHC-C-14, aligned with the Basel Convention technical guidelines and the WHO Guidelines on Sanitation and Health, and it follows the waste chain from the generator's duty to the monitoring of a closed cell.
Collection frequencies are fixed against the preserved source tables, and disposal is governed class by class. It is a single reference document, not a system of procedures and forms, with classification and facility tables, inspection checklists and a closure reference annexed.
What it covers
- Waste classification into four classes, generator duties and disposal facility approval
- Containers, on-site storage, segregation, minimum collection frequencies, derelict vehicles and construction waste
- Collection and transfer vehicles, load containment, washing and the 24-hour holding rule
- Class II landfills against eleven design characteristics and nine operating requirements, Class III inert sites, composting facilities, incineration and the open-burning prohibition
- Leachate, landfill gas, groundwater protection, scavenging control, the closure timetable and post-closure care
Who it's for
Municipal waste authorities, landfill and transfer station operators, collection contractors, and the environmental consultants and inspectors who assess disposal facilities. It is bought when a site is being permitted, tendered or closed and the operating rules have to be legible to a regulator.
