Hazardous waste, such as dangerous chemicals or radioactive material would spread into the ground around it, eventually leading to groundwater runoff spreading it farther and possibly causing issues with animal or plant life. Due to environmental issues, it’s better to keep the hazardous waste in an specialized, enclosed and protected area so the spread can be maintained.
