A healthcare facility may pay a contractor to collect and dispose of its waste. However, the cost of waste management recorded in its accounts may not capture every consequence of that disposal.

What happens if waste is poorly segregated, transported unsafely, openly burned, or disposed of where it contaminates water or soil?
