BOTTOM  ASH IS DANGEROUS

We have all been led to believe that Bottom Ash (not fly ash) is inert and not dangerous. (Bottom ash is the larger residue caused by burning waste. This is referred to as IBA (inert bottom ash) )
Well it has now come to light that this is not true by a long way.

PAIN has been doing some research and has found that this certainly is not the case. It is clear that about 12% of the bottom ash samples tested were hazardous.  Perhaps more interesting is the fact that they come from a wider range of incinerators so there is a strong argument that each batch should be tested – or all the ash classified as hazardous waste.  
The relevant incinerators are:
                        Wolverhampton
                        SELCHP
                        Edmonton
                        Coventry
                        Kirklees
                        Billingham
                        Dudley

It is clear that the Agency is letting the operators landfill the hazardous ash in non-hazardous landfills. We say this can't be be lawful.  lt is also being taxed as ‘inactive’ for the Landfill Tax  thus not having to pay the much higher dues.
