Companies can legally get rid of industrial waste by recycling, donating usable material, incinerating, treating contaminated water through physical or chemical means, using natural bioremediation processes or subjecting the waste to microbial breakdown. They can also dump the waste in a designated landfill with the correct legal permits.

user
Companies are required by law to seek approved methods of disposing of their industrial waste. Examples of legal ways to get rid of industrial waste include reusing and recycling materials, treatment with chemicals and bioremediation, landfill disposal, and incineration. Reusing and recycling materials can cut down on the amount of waste that needs to be disposed; treatment with chemicals is done by extracting pollutants from liquid streams or contaminated soil; landfill disposal includes containing hazardous substances in specially designated areas away from water sources; and incineration involves burning hazardous substances at high temperatures to generate ash and gases that can also be treated.
