Hazardous waste can be flammable, corrosive, reactive, toxic and pathogenic, and is normally generated by industrial activities.

It is laid out in trenches, normally covered, on top of an impermeable layer of clay, bentonite geocomposite, high-density polyethylene (PEAD, 2 mm) membrane, geotextile, geogrid, drainage layer (sand) and an overflow drain. Another impermeable layer is then laid down consisting of another sequence of membrane, geotextile, geogrid, geotextile drainage layer and overflow drain, membrane, drainage layer and leachate drain.

After the trench is completed, it is closed. They are covered in clay, another PEAD membrane, plant soil and, finally, landscaping with native species. Wells are used to monitor leachate from the landfill for Classe 1 hazardous waste. In this way, all the pollutants that could enter the environment are contained and, subsequently, treated.
