Written Question · S6W-07991 · Session 6
Whether it will provide a breakdown of landfill sites by (a) area covered and (b) active status.
The question
To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide a breakdown of landfill sites by (a) area covered and (b) active status.
The answer
The following table provides a full breakdown of landfill sites with a pollution prevention and control (PPC) permit with their locations and current operational status.
It is not possible to specify the area covered by each landfill given it is a commercial decision for landfill operators where they accept waste from. The local authority that each site is located in is provided in the following table, but it is possible that waste will travel between local authority areas prior to being landfilled.
