Abstract
ABSTRACT
Hazardous waste minimization is essential to the Department of Defense to reduce the serious liabilities associated with the management and disposal of hazardous waste.
DoD policy is to limit the generation of hazardous waste and to recycle resources where practical.

Case examples of successful waste reduction efforts are presented in the paper.
