I don't think I ever came into contact with hazardous waste in my life........I don't think most people ever really do let alone to make it the number one cause.

It's still the old fashionned ways as described above without a doubt.

Considering I heard on the news today that heroin use is up more than they could have imagined because it's so cheap these days - I think that contradicts everything about hazardous waste.
