I am still not sure of your point.
If there is no waste policy and no waste disposal facilities...what can a person do?
Honestly? Take that report, and a business plan to the government. That what you should do.
If you were to start such a facility, and your government ALREADY knows the dangers of flushing chemicals, you can make a VERY HEALTHY LIVING by opening a facility to handle all this.
Even if your facility only used a few old fuel tankers and stored it, you could sell it to the US or other countries that extract the copper from it to sell as scrap. Or you could do this.
That is what is done here with photofinishing chemistry. There are tons of silver in photo paper, emulsions, and waste chemistry.
Companies will set up a bin in your shop, and you call them when it is full. They pick it up, and extract the silver using electrolysis and make millions.
Same with catalytic converters with cars.
If anyone cared enough to do it, they would be rewarded handsomely for it.
There are billions of dollars available in nationwide grants for things like this. You could have a $100,000 in a few weeks to research how much of the population is doing this.
After that report is in, you will then get much more money to build the plants, and set up the processing.
Copper is on short supply..partially because of the war.
With a half decent plan, you will get the grants.
Thats what a person can do.
