What kinds of waste are dangerous?

Waste treatment facilities accept all kinds of dangerous waste. These kinds of waste are also known as problem waste. Although these kinds of waste are dangerous for humans, they can still be recycled and reused with the right methods.

Dangerous waste includes all the substances that are harmful to both the environment and humans. They cannot be mixed with each other or with other kinds of waste. Dangerous waste must be well-packed, and they are usually stored in their original packaging. 

Medicines and pharmaceuticals are useful when used correctly, but they can be dangerous if they end up in the wrong place. For example, small children can put themselves in danger if they get a hold of pharmaceuticals. This is why medicines and pharmaceuticals should always be stored in a locked medicine cabinet. 

Medicines must also be used according to the instructions on the package. Unused and old medicines and pharmaceuticals must be returned to the pharmacy. They must be returned in air-tight, clear plastic bags, without their original packaging. 


Old pharmaceuticals must be returned to the pharmacy.

Cleaning products are chemicals that are meant for cleaning purposes. The only cleaning product that you can put in your mouth should be toothpaste. Cleaning products must be kept out of the reach of small children. They must also be stored in their original packaging. Old cleaning products should be returned to waste treatment facilities as dangerous waste.

Solvents are used to remove paints and stains from surfaces. They are harmful both to humans and to the environment. When using solvents, follow the instructions on the packaging carefully. Old solvents should be returned to waste treatment facilities as dangerous waste.
