Answer
I can advise that there are three permitted landfills in South Antrim; two are non-hazardous landfills and the third is an inert landfill. The estimated remaining capacity in each is:
Permit P0090/05A, Cottonmount Non-hazardous Landfill, Mallusk, has an estimated remaining capacity of 3,440,000 tonnes;
Permit P0340/10A, Eastwood Envirowaste Facility Landfill Site, 18 Crosshill Road, Crumlin, BT29 4BQ has an estimated remaining capacity of 377,040 tonnes
Permit P0260/07A, Newline Inert Landfill, Hannahstown Road, Belfast, has an estimated remaining capacity of 92,474 tonnes.
