GBlist: Landfilling/incineration of P.T. wood

There are lots of generic references to possible landfill bans of wood
treated with the preservative CCA, but we have yet to identify a specific
landfill or state that has this policy. Does anyone know of one? What
about incinerators? Any specific policies either banning or allowing
CCA-treated wood?

Also, word is that some European countries have banned all use of CCA.
Any specifics--countries, policies, contacts--on this would be most
appreciated as well.

Thanks in advance for any help!
