Waste disposal (Freelander 1)

One of the most effective ways to reduce environmental hazards is proper organization of waste collection, storage and disposal. Legislation prohibits unauthorized waste removal. Organizations that remove waste must have the necessary licenses. Waste disposal must be carried out only at special plants or landfills. This means that it is necessary not only to monitor the composition of the waste, but also to have the necessary permits and licenses.

Storage and handling of waste

Ensure that waste is not discharged into drains or onto the soil. Waste storage should be organised in such a way as to avoid waste entering the soil, surface water and airspace.

Separate collection of waste must be organized: oils, metal, scrap batteries, removed and scrapped automobile units.

This will prevent unwanted contact between various substances in the waste and facilitate its further disposal.

Waste disposal must be carried out by specialized organizations by waste type and having the necessary licenses. Waste disposal must be accompanied by the execution of all necessary primary documents. The organization carrying out waste disposal is responsible for the delivery of waste to special plants or landfills.
