What role do treatment, storage, and disposal facilities (TSDFs) play?
TSDFs are facilities authorized to manage hazardous waste. They play a crucial role in the waste management process. These facilities are responsible for treating waste to neutralize its hazardous properties, storing waste safely until it can be disposed of, and finally disposing of it in an environmentally safe manner. TSDFs must adhere to strict operational standards and are subject to regular inspections and reporting requirements.
