	Waste management - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Waste management is the collection, transport, processing or disposal of waste materials, usually ones produced by human activity, in an effort to reduce their effect on human health or local amenity.
		Waste management for non-hazardous residential and institutional waste in metropolitan areas is usually the responsibility of local government authorities, while management for non-hazardous commercial and industrial waste is usually the responsibility of the generator.
		Disposing of waste in a landfill is the most traditional method of waste disposal, and it remains a common practice in most countries.

	Waste Disposal
		The disposal of garbage in the world is a problem that continues to grow with the development of industrialized nations and the growth of population.
		Hazardous wastes are of two types: those that have common hazardous properties such as ignitability or reactivity and those that contain leachable toxic components.
		Of the municipal solid waste generated, 56 million tons (27 percent) were recovered by recycling or composting, 33.5 million tons (16 percent) were combusted at high temperatures, and 118.5 million tons (57 percent) were landfilled.

	Hazardous Waste Disposal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Disposing of waste solvents, paints, varnishes or other chemicals in the back yard or in an empty lot is against federal law.
		Disposal of solid or dry waste is difficult to discuss in general terms, but as a rule solid or dry materials should be kept in that state and not mixed in with liquid waste for disposal.
		Disposal of waste means filling out a hazardous waste manifest which indicates what kind of waste is in the container, who produced the waste, the name of the transporter and how the waste was disposed of.

	Hazardous Waste Management Guidelines (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Waste chemicals are not to be disposed of in trash containers, in sinks or toilets, or in storm drains.
		The user/generator attaches a hazardous waste label to each container and writes the date when the waste was first put into the container or when the chemical was declared a waste (accumulation start date).
		The hazardous waste labels are critical as they are the chief means by which thet waste contractor prepares the California EPA Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) and U.S. EPA manifests and for which Sac State is responsible/liable.

	CRS Report: IB92059 - Civilian Nuclear Waste Disposal - NLE
		The Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 (NWPA) calls for disposal of spent nuclear fuel in a repository in a deep geologic formation that is unlikely to be disturbed for thousands of years.
		Nuclear waste has sometimes been called the Achilles' heel of the nuclear power industry; much of the controversy over nuclear power centers on the lack of a disposal system for the highly radioactive spent fuel that must be regularly removed from operating reactors.
		Disposal of low-level radioactive waste, which generally consists of low concentrations of relatively short-lived radionuclides, is a state responsibility under the 1980 Low-level Radioactive Waste Policy Act and 1985 amendments.

	Waste Disposal
		Waste recycling offers one means of reducing the impacts of waste disposal on the atmosphere, but there are other methods of waste disposal which are more environmentally friendly.
		In the UK, approximately 5% of household waste, 7.5% of commercial waste, and 2% of industrial waste is disposed of by incineration.
		However, the usage of anaerobic digestion as a sustainable waste disposal method is forecast to increase.

		Food wastes: This is what you didn’t eat for dinner, or the mysterious green gunk in the dish in the bottom of your refrigerator.
		After all, the weight of the waste taken by trucks to landfills is the same as the weight of the waste buried in the landfills.

	EPA - Radioactive Waste Disposal: An Environmental Perspective (EPA's Radiation Protection Program: Information)
		Proper disposal is essential to ensure protection of the health and safety of the public and quality of the environment including air, soil, and water supplies.
		Designs for new disposal facilities and disposal methods must meet environmental protection and pollution prevention standards that are more strict than were foreseen at the beginning of the atomic age.
		Disposal of radioactive waste is a complex issue, not only because of the nature of the waste, but also because of the complicated regulatory structure for dealing with radioactive waste.

	Russell Jao Uy: Waste Disposal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Our human waste is part of a food chain in this food web and under natural conditions our waste should be dropped on the ground where it can be used by other life.
		But collecting the waste must have been a messy task and it was much simpler to dump it into the 'Tontonan' river to take care of it.
		A septic tank is nothing else but a disposal system that should not create an odor nuisance and although a small portion of the waste is converted into CO2, H20 and possibly some methane, most of the organic matter, urea and ammonia will be disposed into the groundwater.

	Municipal Solid Waste - MSW Disposal
		Although source reduction, reuse, recycling, and composting can divert large portions of municipal solid waste (MSW) from disposal, some waste still must be placed in landfills.
		Operating practices such as compacting and covering waste frequently with several inches of soil help reduce odor; control litter, insects, and rodents; and protect public health.
		In contrast to mass burning, where the MSW is introduced as is into the combustion chamber, RDF facilities are equipped to recover recyclables (e.g., metal cans and glass) first, then shred the combustible fraction into fluff for incineration.

	Solid Waste Disposal
		Methods of disposing of wastewater sewage sludge at landfills are included in the Clean Water Act as amended.

		Landfilling is the placement of wastes into the land under controlled conditions to minimize their migration or effect on the surrounding environment.
