Biodegradable Municipal Waste (BMW) Reporting

In order to assist Ireland's obligations under the Landfill Directive, the EPA reviewed all operational landfill licences in 2009. New conditions were inserted in the licences in relation to limits on the acceptance of BMW and these came into effect from the 1st July 2010.

The landfill operator is required to report to the EPA on a quarterly basis the quantity of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) and BMW accepted at the landfill. Compliance with the BMW limits in the landfill licence will be assessed on an annual basis.

BMW Reporting Website

The EPA has developed a dedicated website to facilitate and streamline reporting to the Agency of BMW data by landfill operators.
