Characteristics of Waste
Waste can also be identified according to its characteristics. What all of these characteristics have in common is that they point to problems that can arise if they are not handled correctly.
Ignitability
As the name implies, this type of waste can result in a fire. Kerosene or gas are examples.
Corrosivity
Corrosive waste can decompose and result in serious damage to the skin, among other negative health consequences. A car battery, with its acidic component, is a prime example.
Reactivity
Reactive waste can be explosive if it becomes unstable. A lithium-sulfur battery could fall into this group.
Toxicity
Another characteristic whose consequences are self-evident, toxic waste is poisonous and potentially fatal if ingested or absorbed. Lithium-sulfur batteries can also fall into this group, something that serves as a reminder that hazardous waste can have more than one of these four characteristics.
Safely Dispose of Hazardous Waste
Hazardous products are often disposed of casually, in the trash can or the drain. This can be very dangerous. The waste that’s poured into a drain finds its way into our lakes, rivers, and streams. A hazardous product tossed in the garbage ends up exposing a landfill worker to all the risks noted above.
Attempts to use ditches and gutters to get rid of hazardous waste are often rooted in good intentions but bring the same negative results. Burning hazardous waste releases poisonous fumes into the air.
Burying it can contaminate the soil. Storing the waste might be viable for a short period of time, until you can get it professionally cleaned and removed, but storage still carries long-term risks.

Rudy and his team were fantastic when our kitchen flooded they were professional, supportive, thorough, and great communicators throughout the entire process. Have to give a special shout-out to Austin and Elias for all their hard work and helping me keep my sanity as they literally took apart my kitchen.
Highly recommend it when chaos ensues!
