Hazardous waste can be toxic, cancerogenic, infective, inflammable, explosive etc. If it gets into water or soil it can cause diseases and harm for both humans and other living creatures. Vessel servicing often produces waste that needs to be placed into special containers such as engine oil, filters, batteries etc. If your boat is serviced by service staff members, they will make sure that all waste is properly taken care off. If you are servicing the vessel yourself, please make sure to place all toxic waste into proper containers.
