Abstract
This chapter provides detailed information on the different methods available for the disposal of hazardous waste. Emphasis has been made on landfilling, deep well injection, and disposal in underground geologic repositories and oceans. The site selection and design of landfills, deep well injection systems, and underground geologic repositories are discussed. In addition, recent technological advancements related to different aspects of these disposal methods are presented. Limitations of ocean disposal are also highlighted.
