Abstract: Systems and methods for the disposal of industrial and municipal wastes which include placing the wastes in confining containers at a prepared, permanent storage location for potential subsequent re-utilization by industry. The system employed includes a disposal site having a liquid impermeable supporting base surrounded by a peripheral dike with a geometrically indexing support structure built on and supported by the base. The geometrically indexing support structure includes a plurality of selectively arrayed surfaces which are collectively positioned to receive and cradle a plurality of waste containers. The waste containers are selected from five different types of containers, each of which types has a geometric configuration such that the containers may be stacked in contiguous fashion with sides abutting so as to leave no space within a vertically and horizontally stacked array of the containers.
