Landfill Tonnage Trends and Capacity Report
The latest Landfill Tonnage Trends and Capacity Report is now available from Footprint Services, showing county-by-county (England) tonnage trends for waste heading to landfill and the declared capacity remaining in each county (showing data to 2020)
In 2020, almost 40 million tonnes of waste was received at landfill sites in England as:
- Hazardous: 826,000 tonnes
- Inert: 15,4850,000 tonnes
- Non-Inert: 22,946,000 tonnes
- Restricted: 546,000 tonnes
(the categories above refer to the stated type of landfill rather than necessarily the waste type. Thus, it is possible that some inert waste ended up in a non-inert landfill)
