Primary waste containers are placed in prefabricated canisters and sealed with a curable fluid sealant, such as grout. The canisters are then stacked in an interlocking manner to form a stable integrated structure. The containers are not, however, permanently attached to one another, so that individual containers are able to shift relative to one another in response to earth movements. In this way, the integrity of the individual container is maintained and the sealed wastes protected even when the integrated structure as a whole experiences significant stresses from earth movement.

A method for containment of hazardous waste materials, said method comprising: collecting a plurality of primary containers which hold the wastes; sealing one or more of the primary containers within a canister; and stacking a plurality of the canisters in an interlocking manner over a substantially impermeable bed in an excavated disposal site, whereby said canisters form an integrated structure in which the individual canisters are generally held in place by gravity but able to shift relative positions in response to earth movement without fracturing of said canisters, wherein the canisters are arranged in at least two layers with each canister in an overlying layer interlocking with canisters in the underlying layer.
