Hierarchy of waste management

Waste reduction

Source Reduction and Waste Minimization The best means to get rid of waste is to reduce the amount generated at the source Two concepts are recommended: The production of waste results in both loss of energy from the production process and loss of valuable resources; and Once the waste is produced, money, manpower, and additional materials must be spent to manage the waste

EQA (Scheduled Wastes) 2005


Responsibility of waste generator 7. Every waste generator shall ensure that scheduled wastes generated by him properly stored, treated on-site or delivered to and received at prescribed premises for treatment or disposal.

EQA (Scheduled Wastes) 2005

(3)Incompatible scheduled wastes shall be stored in separate containers. (4)Areas for the storage of the containers shall be designed , constructed and maintained adequately to prevent spillage or leakage of scheduled wastes into the environment.

Develop incompatible list

1. List out all hazardous wastes and check incompatibilities. 2. Communicate the information to all waste generators and handlers.

Storage of scheduled waste


Isolated,
Locked for security, Chemical under shed,

Storage area is labeled,


Provide secondary containment (drain pit)

Should not be >6 months or > 20MT

Sorting and Segregation


Storage according to waste type and chemical properties Separate hazardous with non-hazardous Check incompatibility

Packaging and Labelling


Each drum is: labeled once being used, waste generation date declared, tightly closed, durable

EQA (Scheduled Wastes) 2005


Waste generator shall keep an inventory of scheduled wastes 9. A waste generator shall keep accurate and up-to-date inventory, in accordance with the Fifth Schedule, of the quantities and categories of scheduled wastes being generated, treated, and disposed of.
