What happens to it
The recovery or disposal code those sites recorded most for 19 08 01 in 2024 (the code each site used for most of its tonnes):
| Code | Means | Sites |
|---|
| D5 | | 45% |
| D1 | deposit into or onto land (landfill) | 16% |
| R13 | storage pending recovery | 9% |
| R1 | use as a fuel | 7% |
The right code is the one on your own permit and transfer notes - this is what other sites did, not a rule. R and D codes explained.
