The real cost of dumping hazardous wastes is borne by the people whose health is affected by waste disposal.

Radioactive wastes are introduced in special containers and placed in special controlled locations.

Pathological wastes are hazardous because they can contain infectious agents such as bacteria, viruses, or other pathogens that can pose health risks if not properly managed and disposed of. Improper handling or disposal of pathological wastes can lead to the spread of infections and diseases. Special precautions are needed to ensure the safe handling, collection, and disposal of these wastes to protect both human health and the environment.
Land disposal is where hazardous wastes are treated through natural and man-made processes
Legal standards such as the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) regulate the disposal of wastes to protect human health and the environment. These laws require proper handling, treatment, and disposal of hazardous wastes, and hold responsible parties accountable for any environmental damage caused by improper waste disposal.

cccRCRA of 1976 is an amendment to the Solid Waste Disposal Act of 1965. It regulates the generation, transportation, treatment, storage and disposal of hazardous wastes, and provides guidelines for managing of non-hazardous waste.

Hazardous wastes are materials that are to be discarded (i.e. are wastes) but can be a danger to people or to the environment and meet the definition based on the identity of the material or on test results. If hazardous wastes are mixed with the nonhazardous wastes, the result is a hazardous waste. A non-hazardous waste is something that is to be discarded (i.e is a waste) but does not meet the definition of a hazardous waste.
