Article Synopsis
- A study in southeast England assessed household hazardous waste (HHW) disposal, involving over 500 families using special bins to collect specific waste types.
- Over a 32-week period, more than 1 ton of HHW was collected, suggesting that nationwide, around 51,000 tons could be generated, equating to over 7,000 tons monthly.
- The findings indicate common disposal practices, with many homeowners co-disposing waste with regular trash to avoid it being classified as hazardous under UK regulations, which is important for managing HHW and environmental risk assessments.
