The paper considers the current problem of waste management of aluminum production in the Krasnoyarsk Territory. The negative consequences of the existence of sludge collectors of aluminum production for the natural environment and the population of the region are shown. The analysis of the consequences of environmental disasters, such as cancer in the population, chemical pollution of groundwater and surface water caused by leakage of hazardous substances, is presented.
