The hazardous waste management is composed of three components: the allocation of the different hazardous waste generators, the hazardous waste routing and the hazardous waste location problems. In this paper, we focus on the allocation problem. It is very important to perform this task since it affects the location and the routing problems. Minimizing the risk and maximizing the equity distribution of risk are the major objectives of the hazardous waste management. Hence, the use of clustering approach to classify the hazardous waste generators needs to be balanced. In this regard, a balancing approach is proposed to ensure the equity among the hazardous waste clusters.
