It is such waste with a chemical composition orother properties that make it capable of causing harm to humans and other life forms when mishandled orreleased into the environment. USA (United State of America)is developed country but facing tough time tosecure the life from hazardous waste. Dealing with such problem is not easy task for the hazardous wastemanagement officers because all parties have their own opinion and views which is difficult to put alltogether at once. Even it is tough task to gratify all concern parties but researcher always try to come upwith new proposal so that can be beneficial for the present improvement and future decision making. Thispaper adopts MCDA (multiple criteria decision analysis) for analysis of hazardous waste in the USA.MCDA proposed DEA-TOPSIS (data envelopment analysis – technique for order performance by similarityto ideal solution) hybrid approach for findings of hazardous waste.
