inSerious question, foundry slag dumped in a lot near our shop
Ugh, I dealt with this at my last job with used solvent! They wanted to pour it out back to save on disposal costs. I quietly took pictures first, because notes get "lost." Then I went straight to the shift lead, not my direct boss, and said it was a huge fines waiting to happen. They grumbled but got a proper dumpster the next week. Sometimes you gotta show them the money it'll cost to be dirty.
