Hazardous waste management aims to reduce waste generation, minimize environmental impact, and ensure safe disposal.

Incineration is a common method for treating hazardous waste, as it involves burning the waste at high temperatures to destroy harmful contaminants.

Neutralization, stabilization, and solidification are all processes used to convert hazardous waste into less harmful substances.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and Department of Transportation (DOT) are all regulatory bodies responsible for hazardous waste management in the United States.

Remediation is the process of removing hazardous substances from soil or groundwater.

Batteries, cleaning products, and paint are all common types of hazardous waste generated by households.

Secure disposal is the process of disposing of hazardous waste in a safe and environmentally sound manner.

Infectious waste, pharmaceuticals, and sharps are all common types of hazardous waste generated by hospitals.

Characterization is the process of identifying and classifying hazardous waste.

Asbestos, lead-based paint, and mercury-containing light bulbs are all common types of hazardous waste generated by construction activities.
