Throw it away? No such thing....

Choose a type of waste that has to be separated from “regular” garbage, either to be recycled, or disposed of in a special way due to its hazardous nature. Research the process of managing that waste from what products it is found in to how it completes its “life” cycle. If it can not be recycled or disposed of locally, what are some of the risks of sending it to the landfill? Be thorough and DO NOT PLAGARIZE!!!
