The majority of the available landfill capacity at Port Clarence (located in the northeast) is given over to the disposal of hazardous waste in its hazardous landfill This accounts for 5 million cubic metres of the total landfill void. The site accepts hazardous waste in the same way as the East Northants RMF site and has separate cells for asbestos wastes.
The site also operates a non-hazardous landfill site which accepts appropriate wastes for disposal.
In addition, the site has a permitted area for the treatment of soils and soil like materials (hazardous wastes) which would otherwise not be allowed to be landfilled in a hazardous landfill site. The permit allows the operation of a soil washing plant which uses a self-contained physico-chemical treatment process to remove the contaminants of soils leaving a clean fraction comprising soil and aggregate which can be reused or used for engineering on the landfills. In addition, a treatment residue is produced (which may be hazardous or non-hazardous dependant on the level of contamination in the original soil) which can be landfilled direct or must be subjected to further processing through the on site soil stabilisation plant (which operates in the same way as the East Northants RMF plant). Once stabilised, the resultant treatment residue can be disposed of in the hazardous landfill
