Special Waste Clause Samples
The 'Special Waste' clause defines and regulates the handling, disposal, and management of waste materials that are classified as hazardous or require special treatment under law. This clause typically outlines what constitutes special waste, such as chemicals, medical waste, or asbestos, and specifies the procedures for their safe collection, transportation, and disposal, often requiring compliance with specific legal or environmental standards. Its core practical function is to ensure that potentially dangerous or regulated materials are managed responsibly, thereby protecting public health, safety, and the environment while ensuring compliance with applicable regulations.
