All Items
Builders bag of broken-up tarmac
Decision summary:
This is not a Discrete Item.
Explanation:
- By analogy to scrap, this waste would not be a particular focus of interest and is considered common waste.
Note: only LLW Repository Ltd can make a ‘Non-Discrete Item’ determination based on common occurrence of the particular waste.
The LLW Disposal WAC Discrete Item Limit does not apply.
Important Considerations
Note 1: These items should only be considered for disposal to the Repository if all diversion options are unsuitable. Always consider the Waste Hierarchy and minimise LLW disposal. This item has the potential to be: reused; disposed to permitted landfill; or, volume reduced via supercompaction.
Note 2: Items must be assessed against all relevant LLW Disposal WAC conditions.
Note 3: ‘Durable’ refers to durability in the Repository environment within the lifetime of the Repository.
