Preferred term

typology of waste  

Definition

  • Industrial waste is defined as any substance not required by a generator and is therefore to be discarded from the site at which the substance is located. This definition can be applied more broadly to commercial waste, such as from hotels, offices, hospitals, retail stores, and residential properties.
