### sec.8 The concept of disposal
This Act commonly uses the expression disposal in relation to waste.
In practical terms, a primary outcome arising from the implementation of this Act’s provisions is intended to be a reduction in the amount of waste that permanently, or at least indefinitely, effectively becomes incorporated into land, commonly referred to as becoming landfill.
Accordingly, in this Act, a reference to disposal in relation to waste may ordinarily be taken to mean the depositing of the waste, other than on a temporary or short term basis, into or onto land.
Subsection (3) does not limit what disposal may be taken to mean in an appropriate context.
