4.9 Disposal

Significant quantities of non-MSW are landfilled in the Ayrshire, Dumfries and Galloway area. The majority of this waste is construction and demolition waste. There could be wastes currently disposed of to landfill which the Landfill Directive will ban from landfill in future years. The WSAG should ensure work is initiated to identify these wastes understand the infrastructure requirement.

As stated previously, SEPA is undertaking a range of Priority Waste Stream Projects, including one into construction and demolition wastes.

Action 13
