| Short description: |
686 million cubic metres of landfill voidspace remained on permitted sites in England and Wales on 31/3/2005; equivalent to 6 years disposal capacity at current tipping rates. Life expectancy varied between regions with only 3 years in East of England and 8 to 9 years in Yorks & Humber and East Midlands. Total operational incineration capacity is around 7 million tonnes, over half of which is in municipal waste incinerators.
