Description Hazardous waste, or dangerous waste as it is known in Washington, can threaten human health and contaminate the environment. Those who generate (produce) the wastes are responsible for managing them, “from cradle to grave.” When dangerous wastes are not properly managed, they can contaminate soil and air, and get into our rivers, lakes, and Puget Sound.
NOTES This publication was previously titled "State and Local Governments Coordinate to Prevent Pollution from Hazardous Waste"
