Abstract

The report presents an overview of quantities of waste converting and processing by composting, breaking rubble, incinerating and land filling in 1991 in the Netherlands. A comprehensive set of data of landfill sites is gathered by enquiring the sites and published in the report. The amount of waste dumped in 1991 seems to be reduced in comparison with the amount in 1990 as mentioned in the National Environmental Outlook (2). The difference between those two figures is regarded to lie within the margins of accuracy of both.
