The Waste Deposit Ordinance (AbfAblV), in the long title “Ordinance on the environmentally compatible disposal of municipal waste”, had the aim of preventing the dumping of waste that could lead to environmental damage without it having been treated beforehand. The ordinance expired on July 16, 2009. Some of the regulations have been incorporated into the Landfill Ordinance and the Extraction Waste Ordinance .
main points
The AbfAblV is aimed at landfill operators , waste incineration plant owners and owners of waste for disposal. The ordinance also applied to the disposal and dumping of municipal waste. The AbfAblV is to be seen as a supplement to the TA Siedlungsabfall . The regulations of the TA Siedlungsabfall on the landfill allocation criteria and the requirements for the location, construction and operation of landfills have been incorporated into the ordinance.
- The dumping of untreated waste that does not meet the landfill criteria has been prohibited by law since June 1, 2005.
- New limit values have been created for waste from mechanical-biological treatment pretreated waste. For example, the high calorific fraction must be separated off before the mechanical-biological treatment.

criticism
Many limit values only relate to eluate values. The eluate is produced in accordance with regulation using neutral water. However, the real processes in the landfill are not well simulated. These processes usually take place in an acidic environment. This means that, due to the low pH value, many more heavy metals can dissolve with leachate from a landfill than the eluate can reproduce.
Switzerland took a different approach when creating the eluate. There the eluate is not made with neutral water, but with a dilute acid.
