{{Short description|Waste that doesn't undergo significant physical, chemical or biological changes}}
'''Inert waste''' is waste which is neither chemically nor biologically reactive and will not decompose or only very slowly. Examples of this are sand, [concrete](/source/concrete), and [demolition waste](/source/demolition_waste). This has particular relevance to [landfill](/source/landfill)s as inert waste typically requires lower disposal fees than [biodegradable waste](/source/biodegradable_waste) or [hazardous waste](/source/hazardous_waste).
