What is WAC Testing?

, ,

WAC Testing, also known as Waste Acceptance Criteria testing tells you which landfill site you can send your waste to. WAC Testing sets out the criteria for the acceptance of waste at each landfill class. WAC testing is a legal requirement before a landfill can accept either inert or hazardous waste. Non-hazardous waste does not need WAC testing however if the waste could be inert it is prudent to complete WAC testing as inert landfill charges are more cost effective. The WAC testing is the second step in the Soil Waste management process but can be completed in conjunction with The Soil waste Classification.
