This article presents research on the accumulation of industrial waste, in particular mining and metallurgical waste. Problems and challenges of accumulation and processing of waste from the mining and metallurgical industry. The characteristics of copper smelting slag dumps according to the data of the Statistics Committee for 2023 are given. The composition of slag heaps has been studied, and the impact of slag heaps on the environment has been considered. The environmental risks associated with slag heaps have been studied and consid-ered. The negative anthropogenic impact of slag dumps of the Balkhash copper smelter and its chemical composition on atmospheric pollution is considered. soils, reservoirs. The conducted research has made it possible to develop a set of environmental protection measures aimed at minimizing the negative impact of slag heaps on the environment. In the course of the work, priority areas were identified to reduce the anthropogenic load from accumulated mining and metallurgical waste. The revealed data indicate the need to switch to an integrated slag dump management system that combines modern processing methods with the principles of sustain-able development. Of particular importance is the creation of closed technological cycles that minimize environmental damage while maximizing resource conservation.
