4.8 Disposal

Significant quantities of non-MSW are landfilled in the Western Isles, at the Bennadrove site, and this is likely to continue in the short term. There could be wastes currently disposed of to landfill which the EU Landfill Directive will ban from landfill in future years. The Western Isles WSAG should ensure work is initiated to identify these wastes, and understand future infrastructure requirements. In general, the future development of BPEO(s) for non-MSW streams will result in a reduction in the quantity of these wastes being disposed of to landfill.
