Controlled Waste

Controlled wastes are those materials which require special handling and disposal practices to avoid creating health hazards, nuisances or environmental pollution. Pre-approval and permits for disposal of controlled waste are required. Not all sites are equipped to take all types of controlled wastes. See specific landfill sites for details.
