Remember that disposal of toxic and other difficult to dispose of waste comes out of your taxes so one would think it is in your interest to keep waste disposal costs low.
Where does what you describe take place? Under what level of government -- fed, state, county, local? I live in the US, and I'm not aware of taxes subsidizing this type of waste disposal.

That's why expert witnesses are called to testify - to explain complicated things in layman's terms.
With the quality of some search results lately, they should be changing the "I'm feeling lucky" button to "Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya punk?"

ARGH!! I CAN'T STAND ALL OF THIS spam!
...and don't forget to pick up the correct attachment for any of these badboy HSF's. ;-)
