Compounds & gated communities - suitable for communal waste

Description:is land previously used for commercial uses orindustrial purposes. The land may be contaminated by low concentrations of hazardous waste or pollution, and has the potential to be reused once it is cleaned up.[1] Once cleaned up, such an area can become host to a business development such as a retail park.

Land that is more severely contaminated and has high concentrations of hazardous waste or pollution, such as a Superfund site, does not fall under the brownfield classification. Mothballed brownfields are properties that the owners are not willing to transfer or put to productive reuse.
