Adelaide Waste & Recycling Centre

Companies and businesses in Adelaide and nearby regions produce a variety of hazardous waste types as part of their operations. Strict regulations govern the storage, treatment, and disposal of hazardous waste, which cannot be simply discarded like household waste due to its high potential to contaminate the environment, cause injury, and harm people's and wildlife's health. Chemical process industries (CPI), medical facilities, and metal manufacturing units all generate large amounts of hazardous waste. Hazardous waste that cannot be destroyed or treated must be properly disposed of. New waste piles are carefully built over an impervious base that must meet regulatory standards. Only non-containerised solid waste and non-flowing waste can be stored in new piles, that must also be protected from wind dispersal or erosion. Two impermeable liners and leachate collection systems are required for a secure hazardous waste landfill. The landfill's bottom and the underlying bedroc...

Hazardous waste includes certain chemicals, non-biodegradable waste, medical waste that contains sharps, explosives, chemicals, and radioactive waste. Batteries and electronics, paint products, asbestos, acids, fertilizers and herbicides, automotive products, needles and lancets, and spot removers are all examples of hazardous waste. It also includes waste that produces toxic byproducts when it decomposes.

  Faster electronic product upgrades cause users to abandon their old electronic items, adding to the e-waste solid waste stream. A vast amount of e-waste is abandoned as waste by households, industries, and businesses and is simply thrown away in a landfill. Because of the availability of harmful and toxic elements that can seep into the soil, damage the waterways, and pollute the environment, e-waste can be hazardous if improperly disposed of. Incineration, illegal dumping of e-waste, and landfilling all contribute to toxic chemicals in the environment, that pose a great threat to the health of humans, wildlife, marine life, and local ecology. As a result, it is critical to dispose of electronic waste in a responsible and legal manner. The Adelaide Waste and Recycling Centre regards e-waste as a rich supply of valuable raw materials because all electronic waste contains recyclable materials such as plastic, glass, metals, lead, gold, cadmium, PCBs, and so on. Simply because y...
