Maybe it's just me but ... ... there's nothing to it really -- nothing more than "disposal under a roof (or roofed structure or canopy)" IMHO -- "encasing" is possible but far from mandatory (AFAIK) for all types of hazardous waste, and unless they are talking about a specific substance, this is basically just an austriacism (I believe) for "keepin' the rain out" -- but maybe I'm just too much in a Friday mood :-]

Vielleicht "encasing" ... ... aber "emplacement" kann ich mir auch nur schwer als passenden Ausdruck vorstellen.

I know Leo says "emplacement", but I've never seen the word used that way before. Doesn't it just mean "storage"?

install a roof over the waste

Doesn't 'Abfälle unter Dach' convey the same idea as 'Dach über Abfälle' ? Once you think this way, then the 'einbauen' part makes more sense, no?
Instead of 'install', you could even say 'build' or 'construct', I suppose.
