This article will introduce the classification and treatment methods of hazardous waste.
1. Waste batteries Waste batteries include dry batteries, rechargeable batteries, button batteries, etc., which contain heavy metals and harmful substances, and if discarded or disposed of improperly, they will cause harm to the environment and human health.

These places are handled professionally, including the decomposition of pharmaceutical ingredients and the disposal of harmful chemicals, to reduce the impact on the environment and human health.
3. Waste lamps Waste lamps include fluorescent lamps, energy-saving lamps, etc., which contain harmful substances such as mercury, and will cause environmental pollution and health risks if not properly disposed of. Waste lamps should be collected by classification and sent to a special station for disposal. The station will carry out professional disposal of waste lamps, including hazardous substances and environmental protection treatment, to reduce the harm to the environment and human health.
4. Other hazardous wastes In addition to the above types of hazardous waste, there are also some other hazardous wastes, such as waste paint buckets, waste pesticide containers, etc. These hazardous wastes also need to be collected separately and sent to specialized treatment facilities for treatment to reduce the harm to the environment and human health.
In conclusion, the sorting and disposal of hazardous waste is essential for environmental protection and human health. Correct sorting and collection and professional treatment can reduce the pollution of hazardous waste to the environment and protect human health. It is hoped that through the introduction of this article, readers can pay more attention to the classification and treatment of hazardous waste, actively participate in the classified collection and treatment of hazardous waste, and jointly protect our environment and health.
