Overview
A landfill is the only structure a society builds intending to abandon, and then has to watch for decades. This guideline is 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 guideline's collection 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.
