All Items
Industrial vacuum cleaner (heavy duty/industrial grade)
Decision summary:
This is potentially a Discrete Item.
Explanation:
- Classed as a Discrete Item unless a credible case can be made that the item is not durable.
An item that is potentially a Discrete Item must be recorded as a Discrete Item on the WCI Form for LLW Disposal and is subject to the Discrete Item Limit; unless prior consultation with LLW Repository Ltd has confirmed that the waste producer’s specific item is not a Discrete Item.
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.
