Waste Acceptance Criteria Testing

 
Waste acceptance criteria analysis involves testing the solid sample for contamination and pollutants. Water is passed through the material to form a leachate. The leachate is then analysed for the various harmful elements. A certificate of analysis is produced detailing all of the results. The results are compared to established limits and the material is classed as inert, stable non-reactive or hazardous. Parameters which exceed limits are highlighted for ease of identification. 

The lifecycle of waste (Soil, Rubble, Dredging) is as follows;    

• Client has excavated waste to move. Is it Inert, Stable non-reactive or Hazardous? 
• Contact is made with Fitz scientific to undertake a Waste Acceptance Criteria (WAC) test.  
• Fitz scientific organise the free delivery of sample jars  and analysis the waste. 
• Sample is taken, see instruction below. 
• Sample is dropped in to our Lab or we organise a courier (alternatively a qualified technician can visit your site and take the sample for you.) 
• Following payment, within 6-10 working days results are released, they can be accessed securely online. 
• Waste is disposed of to the appropriate Treatment facility or Landfill. Here, at our state-of-the-art facility in Drogheda Co. Louth we have the capacity to deal with high volumes of waste testing.
