Waste generated by natural disasters differ in characteristics depending on the type of the disaster, its scale, place of occurrence, and time of occurrence. If local authorities need to deal with disaster waste, they have to understand quickly the amount and composition of waste generated to implement the proper treatment process. Based on what happened in the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake and the Great East Japan Earthquake, we describe the characteristics of disaster waste and the problems in the treatment process, and consider the concept of treatment planning to prepare for future disasters.
