Any person who stores waste must at least take steps, unless otherwise provided by this Act, to ensure that-
- the containers in which any waste is stored, are intact and not corroded or in any other way rendered unfit for the safe storage of waste;
- adequate measures are taken to prevent accidental spillage or leaking;
- the waste cannot be blown away;
- nuisances such as odour, visual impacts and breeding of vectors do not arise; and
- pollution of the environment and harm to health are prevented.
