Segregation of Waste
Waste should be segregated into the relevant different
categories as close as possible to the source of waste
generation, to avoid secondary handling, which may
involve health and safety risks as well as increased
WASTE operational costs. It is vitally important not to mix waste
MANAGEMENT streams as:
Certain wastes may react with each other giving rise to
a serious event with both health and safety and
environment implications.
The mixing of even small quantities of hazardous with
nonhazardous waste normally makes the whole
consignment hazardous.

The mixing of non-inert waste with inert waste for landfill
will make all the waste non-inert and therefore may be
subject to a higher rate of landfill tax.

4. Ensure the storage area is secure and protected from accidental or
malicious damage.

MANAGEMENT 6. Store different waste types separately to avoid confusion.
7. Never store incompatible waste together.
8. Select the appropriate container for the waste and ensure it is in
good condition.
