The manufacturing wastes are dangerous but, more importantly, the consumer products themselves are dangerous when they are discarded into a landfill or an incinerator. The job of the frontline troops is to overcome public resistance and get rid of the toxics any way they can. The manufacturers themselves provide the bulk of the army, the logistical support troops to keep the trucks rolling and the pumps pumping.
