Solid and Hazardous
Waste Management

The Solid and Hazardous Waste Management Training Course provides a clear, structured, and practical foundation for understanding how to handle, treat, and dispose of waste materials responsibly and safely. As industries expand and environmental expectations rise, organizations must manage waste in a way that protects public health, prevents pollution, and supports sustainable development. This course delivers an in-depth overview of solid and hazardous waste streams—ranging from household refuse and industrial materials to chemical and medical waste—and explains their environmental and health implications.

Through an applied and systematic approach, the Solid and Hazardous Waste Management Course explores waste characterization, collection methods, transportation practices, treatment technologies, disposal options, recycling strategies, and relevant regulatory frameworks. Participants gain practical insight into how waste reduction, resource recovery, and regulatory compliance work together to create effective and environmentally responsible waste management systems. The training also examines contaminants and modern methods used to minimize or eliminate them through non-hazardous substitutes and environmentally compliant disposal procedures.

Case studies, real-world examples, and best-practice discussions help participants build a strong understanding of waste management challenges and opportunities. By the end of the course, attendees will have the tools required to develop, implement, and evaluate waste management programs that support organizational, environmental, and regulatory goals.

The Solid and Hazardous Waste Management Training aims to strengthen participants’ ability to manage waste safely, efficiently, and in compliance with environmental standards.

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

• Understand the implications of waste production, resource use, and environmental impact.
• Identify components of solid waste management infrastructure and how they minimize environmental effects.
• Apply recycling, reuse, and reclamation techniques for different waste types.
• Evaluate how improper waste management affects soil, water, and sediment quality.
• Understand current practices in solid and hazardous waste handling.
• Implement systems available for effective waste treatment and disposal.
• Assess environmental guidelines, human activities, and impacts on soil and water quality.
• Integrate solid waste management options with environmental legislation to develop safe and compliant solutions.

The Solid and Hazardous Waste Management Course is designed for professionals involved in waste planning, waste handling, environmental compliance, or facility operations. It is suitable for individuals across both public and private sectors who need a strong understanding of solid and hazardous waste management principles.

This training course is ideal for:

• Environmental managers and sustainability professionals.
• Government officials and regulators overseeing waste policies.
• Engineers involved in designing or operating waste management facilities.
• Waste management practitioners seeking deeper technical knowledge.
• Health and safety professionals concerned with waste-related risks.
• Students and researchers pursuing studies in environmental disciplines.
• Anyone interested in solid and hazardous waste challenges and solutions.

The Solid and Hazardous Waste Management Training uses a vocational training methodology to ensure practical, applied learning. Participants benefit from assessments, hands-on practice, theoretical instruction, and continuous feedback that support real skill development. The delivery includes presentations, targeted discussions, practical exercises, videos, and case studies drawn from real operational experiences.

This approach ensures that participants not only understand solid and hazardous waste principles but can also apply them effectively within their own organizations.

Presentation methods include:

• Lecture-led learning supported by structured explanations.
• Instructor-guided discussions linked to participants’ real workplace situations.
• Practical exercises and simulations to reinforce key techniques.
• Case studies and videos illustrating waste management challenges and solutions.

• AZTech Certificate of Completion for delegates who attend and complete the training course
