Wastage control n disposal management Waste Management is the term that refers to the collection, processing, recycling, transport,

and monitoring of waste products. The waste products means the various materials produced by human activity and is undertaken for reducing their effect on health, environment or aesthetics. Another application of the waste management is to recover the various resources from it. It involves the management of solid, liquid, and gaseous wastes. Each type of waste requires a different methods and fields of expertise. The practices of waste management differ from developed and developing nations. In fact, there is difference in methods used in the urban and rural areas, and also for industrial or residential producers. It is the responsibility of local government authorities to manage non-hazardous residential and institutional waste in metro areas. On other hand the management for non-hazardous commercial and industrial waste is done by the generator.

There is large volume of the industrial waste produced by the industries throughout the world. Most of these industrial wastes comprises of the Industrial Chemicals. The waste produced by the chemical products leads to the hazardous conditions for the community and environment. There are lots of safe methods for the disposal of industrial chemicals and the waste produce by them. Although the toxic residue is still left afterwards, the risk is reduced by the proper disposal. The first step for the proper disposal of Industrial chemicals is to look out for the various procedures offered by the local city or town for disposal. Collecting the rubbish& dumping it in the landfill is not the only step to waste management. There are other effective steps for waste management that helps the company to function effectively in managing the waste which in turn works best towards preserving the environment. Six effective steps for the waste management are 6 effective steps in wastage management (1) Monitoring: Monitoring means understanding the need for waste management, identifying how can the materials be used again by recycling it, & thus reducing the amount of waste production, thus getting an idea as to how much progress has been done in waste reduction. Keeping a check on different streams that produces waste, we can work in peace with the environment. (2) Collection: Collection involves systematic organization that sees to it that the bins to collect the waste are not over flooded and the time allotted for the waste collection is not too long. In this step it is seen that the bin size to collect the waste is correct, frequency of the service given must be regular to prevent over spill or stinginess. Different kinds of waste should have different bins with the stickers and different bin color for the identification. For example wet garbage should have a green color bin and dry waste bin with a different color. Locks, chains, and lids are given by local bodies so that no one can dislocate the bins &also to prevent mixing to different kinds of garbage by the people who have no knowledge about it.

(3) Cooperation between waste management company and the customer is crucial. The bins should to ready to discard the waste at the given time, so truck drivers dont have to waste their time. Bins with the wheel would be convenient for the customer to move the bins to the serviceable area, sometimes work has to be done in non working hours. This could lead to problems to truck drivers &sometimes the public. So problems should be discussed &notice could be given. . (4) Transportation: this step involves making available the waste transport vehicle from the areas from where it has been collected to the land fill or the place where they can recycled. Special vehicle must be designed for waste transportation. Drivers should be trained for transportation of the hazardous waste. (5) Processing & Recycling: From the waste, the products that can be recycled are taken separately, they are then processed. The processed materials are raw materials for the production of new materials these materials required for cyclable products are purchased by the companies that sustain the environment and natural resources for production. (6) Disposal: Non recyclable wastes are dumped into a vast abandoned land. This is called landfills. Only care should be taken that toxic waste does not enter the soil and water system. The people in charge of landfill department must supervise & approve the dumping site. Care should be taken about depth allowed till dumping, the nature of the waste dumped, etc must be approved . Waste hierarchy - The waste hierarchy refers to the "3 Rs" reduce, reuse and recycle, which classify waste management strategies according to their desirability in terms of waste minimization. The waste hierarchy remains the cornerstone of most waste minimization strategies. The aim of the waste hierarchy is to extract the maximum practical benefits from products and to generate the minimum amount of waste
