Database of landfill sites
BDS has developed a database covering all known municipal landfill sites operated by waste management companies, and the larger privately owned inert sites. The database is updated weekly with quarterly updates sent to subscribers.
The information includes:
Name of landfill site X and Y co-ordinates
Name of operator Planning authority
Address of site, including post code Environment Agency area
County Waste inputs – last three years
Region Estimated void space and life
Status now (open or closed) Recent planning developments
2 Year status (open or closed) Other developments
The database allows the sorting of schemes so that all landfill sites of a particular company can be listed together, all sites in a county or region etc. More than 750 landfill sites are included.
As well as providing information on estimated waste inputs, void space and life, the database highlights those sites that are likely to open or close within the next two years. Information has been obtained from public sources, planning applications and interviews with local authorities and the Environment Agency.
The database is available by annual subscription.
