Solid Waste ... BrownField HomePage Hazardous Waste Management. Hazardous waste products need to be sorted from the rest of your trash. Materials that are toxic, corrosive and poisonous need to be kept separate otherwise they can cause serious problems at landfill sites. Items such as broken thermometers (containing mercury) or cans of paint, household chemicals and batteries cannot simply be sent to landfill or dump sites. Pesticides and other harmful contaminants could pose further problems for the environment if not disposed of properly. When renovating your home, discarding of such items such as lead paint based walls or insulation that could contain asbestos needs to be carefully discarded. Most landfill sites have designated places or stations where you can bring materials that may be hazardous or cities have collection sites on specific days for items such as batteries, leftover cleansers or other chemicals that you may have in your house. If you are unsure, contact your local waste management facility. Hazardous waste can also come from industrial sites or from hospitals where medical waste such as radioactive or contaminated material exists. Proper care in disposal of such waste is crucial to the environment and safety of individuals. Use caution when dealing with any hazardous materials. | |
