Currently, many waste disposal plant managers have come to realize that short-term, dispose- your-waste-anywhere solutions are no longer acceptable to society or in keeping with existing laws and regulations of the RoK. Disposal companies can be held accountable in courts of law and ordered to clean-up whole landfill sites when e.g., groundwater becomes contaminated.

To protect our clients from being subjected to the "dipping into a deep pocket" experience, we advocate the use of planning and carefully thinking about what is to be disposed and where. If possible this can include tracking hazardous wastes from its origin to its final resting place.

To employ this approach, knowledge of international experience is required as current RoK laws are not complete. This approach, fully in keeping with regulations and social obligations, decreases potential immediate and future disposal problems while being cognizant that not "everything" must be disposed (and paid for) in a secure landfill.
