The inventory resulted in an allmost complete survey of the landfill capacity. in the Netherlands in the year 1991, being: available capacity: 80 millions m3 planned capacity: 88 millions m3. At the actual rate of dumping the 1991-available capacity is expected to be exhausted by the end of 1995. This report also presents some data of the landfill locations (e.g. addresses, owners etc.) and technical data. The data is frequently adapted to new incoming information.
