  "text": "Wastes on the following short list are assumed to fulfil the criteria as set out in the definition of inert waste in Article 2(e) of the Landfill Directive and the criteria listed in section 2.1.2. The wastes can be admitted without testing at a landfill for inert waste.\nThe waste must be a single stream (only one source) of a single waste type. Different wastes contained in the list may be accepted together, provided they are from the same source.\nIn case of suspicion of contamination (either from visual inspection or from knowledge of the origin of the waste) testing should be applied or the waste refused. If the listed wastes are contaminated or contain other material or substances such as metals, asbestos, plastics, chemicals, etc. to an extent which increases the risk associated with the waste sufficiently to justify their disposal in other classes of landfills, they may not be accepted in a landfill for inert waste.\nIf there is a doubt that the waste fulfils the definition of inert waste according to Article 2(e) of the Landfill Directive and the criteria listed in section 2.1.2 or about the lack of contamination of the waste, testing must be applied. For this purpose the methods listed under section 3 shall be used.\nEWC code\nDescription\nRestrictions\n*Selected construction and demolition waste (C & D waste): with low contents of other types of materials (like metals, plastic, soil, organics, wood, rubber, etc). The origin of the waste must be known.\nNo C & D waste from constructions, polluted with inorganic or organic dangerous substances, e.g. because of production processes in the construction, soil pollution, storage and usage of pesticides or other dangerous substances, etc., unless it is madeclearthatthedemolishedconstructionwasnotsignificantlypolluted.\nNo C & D waste from constructions, treated, covered or painted with materials, containing dangerous substances in significant amounts.\n1011 03\nWaste glass-based fibrous materials\nOnly without organic binders\n1501 07\nGlass packagingGlas\n1701 01\nConcrete\nSelected C & D waste only\n1701 02\nBricks\nSelected C & D waste only\n1701 03\nTiles and ceramics\nSelected C & D waste only\n1701 07\nMixtures of concrete,bricks, tiles and ceramics\nSelected C & D waste only\n1702 02\nGlass\n1705 04\nSoil and stones\nExcluding topsoil, peat; excluding soil and stones from contaminated sites\n1912 05\nGlass\n2001 02\nGlass\nSeparately collected glass only\n2002 02\nSoil and stones\nOnly from garden and parks waste; Excluding top soil, peat\nWaste not appearing on this list must be subject to testing as laid down under section 1 to determine if it fulfils the criteria for waste acceptable at landfills for inert waste as set out in section 2.1.2.",
