Commercial hazardous waste operations incinerate waste, posing environmental risks.
Commercial hazardous waste operations include disposal, recycling, storage, and treatment facilities. These facilities are permitted by the Department of Environmental Protection to manage hazardous waste in different ways. Disposal facilities incinerate or contain waste, while recycling facilities treat waste for reuse. Storage facilities hold waste temporarily, and treatment facilities change the waste to make it safer for transport or storage. The main goal is to manage hazardous waste effectively and reduce its impact on the environment.
