Disposing of frozen cow carcasses in a National Park presents a real problem. If they are allowed to thaw and decompose naturally, they might pollute the water. Military personnel found them at Hot Springs in Aspen Colorado. Six were found frozen in a cabin and several more were outside. The options include blowing them up and burning their bodies with the cabin. However, there is a great deal of resistance to disturbing the pristine natural beauty of the area. Read the article here.
Depleted uranium is a by-product of the nuclear chain. The enrichment process not only produces the enriched product, but also a waste stream of uranium hexafluoride depleted in uranium-235 ("depleted uranium"), typically to 0.3%. Everyone agrees that it should be most carefully put somewhere so as not to become a health liability in the future. However, as much as people wish this, the word is always the same: "Not in MY backyard!" For the person with lots of time on their hands, read more here.
Medical disposal of hazardous materials generated by hospitals, nursing homes, dental clinics, and pharmacies as well as many other types of industrial and commercial companies requires companies who specialize in the safety of the well.. Man is getting to an age where he must take care of his own diapers and stop assuming that the world can handle all the debris produced by business owners who think our landfills and ocean can be polluted forever.
Wikipedia tells us :
A Hazardous waste is waste that poses substantial or potential threats to public health or the environment. In the United States, the treatment, storage and disposal of hazardous waste is regulated under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). Hazardous wastes are defined under RCRA in 40 CFR 261 where they are divided into two major categories: characteristic wastes and listed wastes.[1]

- Characteristic hazardous wastes are materials that are known or tested to exhibit one or more of the following four hazardous traits:
- ignitability (i.e., flammable)
- reactivity
- corrosivity
- toxicity
