Managing Hazardous Industrial Waste

Effective ways of dealing with hazardous industrial waste include minimizing the waste by producing less or none of it, recycling it wherever possible, treating it to reduce its hazards volume, disposing of it in secured landfills and, as a last resorts, incinerating it.
