Waste disposal (Freelander 2)

Contents: Storage and handling of waste ⇩ Waste disposal ⇩

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 carry out waste removal 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 waste, but also to have the necessary permits and licenses.

Storage and handling of waste

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

Separate collection of waste should be organized: oils, metal, scrap batteries, removed and scrapped automobile units. This will prevent unwanted contact of various substances in the waste and facilitate their further disposal.
