Waste Disposal Law and Legal Definition
The term waste disposal may include any land, building, plant, system, facility, trucks and other motor vehicles, equipment or other property, used in connection with the collection, storage, treatment, utilization, recycling, processing, transporting or disposal of solid waste, including transfer stations, incinerators, sanitary landfill facilities or other facilities connected to them.
Due to the problems associated with landfill space and the growing amount of solid waste generated each year, states and localities have attempted to legislate to prevent or discourage the importation of waste and, more recently, to require all waste to be brought to a single incinerator or transfer station. Waste disposal legislation exists at the state and federal levels to regulate landfills and disposal and transportation of hazardous waste. Local laws, which vary by area, may provide for composting and/or recycling of certain waste materials.
Relevant legal forms include:
Notice of Intent to Increase Ad Valoren Tax Assessment for Waste and
Garbage Collection and Disposal

dwelling all ashes, rubbish, garbage or other waste in a clean and safe
