  • (1) Controlled landfills can not accept more than 10 % of waste each month in excess of the parameter value in the table. Liquid waste may not be left there.
  • (2) When the controlled landfill is especially designed to receive organic waste, this value may be exceeded. It may also be exceeded when it is a waste that will not ferment.
  • (3) It may also be exceeded when it is a waste that will not ferment.
  • (4) No compost may individually exceed 100 mg/kg. The sum may not exceed 0.05 %.
  • (5) No compost may individually exceed 300 mg/kg. The sum may not exceed 0.05 %. The maximum content is not limited.
