The Governmental Order on handling of waste, special conditions of handling hazardous waste, waste disposal, and procedural matters related to waste-handling approval applications. For waste - handling purposes, waste is divided into categories and groups in compliance with the Categorization and Catalogue of Waste. Waste is processed in order to ensure maximum possible reuse of its separable and utilizable parts mainly within the production process itself, and to reduce the subsequently occurring waste as much as possible, providing for physical and chemical properties with minimum negative impact upon the environment. Waste of plant origin, animal excrements, biological sludge from water treatment plants and similar waste shall be preferentially processed biologically, and such biological processing shall have preference before their disposal. Waste shall be rendered harmless by (a) incineration; (b) site deposition; (c) neutralization. Waste deposits must be provided with a system enabling monitoring of their influence upon underground waters.
