In Italian smaltimento is the most generic term to means either tattamento, or eliminazione or evacuazione etc.

"disposal" is a generic term that includes not only dumping but also incineration, recycling and other methods to treat/eliminate waste.In Italian smaltimento= trattamento= eliminazione=evacuazione, according to the method required for the waste involved

Think the refs above pretty much cover it, but put simply, taking waste to the dump is not the only way of treating it/disposing of it

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "close call between simon and maria luisa, but maria's answer more appropriate for my particular needs, and i didn't pose it as a verb question. yvette's point a good one and i've taken it into consideration for the additional glossary insertion (though using disposed and not discharged). thanks all."
