hazardous waste disposal

Disposing of hazardous waste the environmentally friendly way...

We provide licensed hazardous waste disposal services that are more environmentally conscious than traditional methods of disposal. Our priority is to recycle or utilise the recovery method rather than opt straight for incineration or hazardous landfill.

Where high temperature incineration is called for however, we only provide hazardous waste disposal services that utilise heat exchange systems to prevent loss of energy; delivering you an ethical disposal service that meets legislation.

From laboratory smalls and drummed toxic waste to everyday hazardous substances such as oil, paint, adhesives, aerosols, glues, chemicals, resins, acids, fuel and asbestos, we offer a complete hazardous waste disposal solution.

Hazardous Waste Management

Some wastes are harmful to human health or to the environment, either immediately or over an extended period of time. These are called hazardous wastes and are defined within the Hazardous Waste Regulations.

Having a hazardous waste management program in place is essential if your organisation produces any amount of hazardous waste. Companies and businesses have a 'duty of care' to ensure it is properly transferred, treated and disposed of; and any premises that produce more than 500kg of hazardous waste in any 12 month period will need to register with the Environment Agency. If in doubt, we can advise on whether notification is required, and if necessary we can also register your premises for you.

Hazardous waste collection

All of our hazardous chemical and waste containers are of the highest specification (UN-type approved), helping to reduce the risk of spillages and contamination during hazardous waste collection.

In addition to UN-type approved kegs and drums, we can also supply larger on-site storage solutions for all types of hazardous waste collection. Select Environmental Services can also provide spillage kits, drum bunds and a whole range of related health & safety products to keep your organisation legally compliant.

Our hazardous waste collection isn’t just for high grade hazardous waste, it is also for everyday items that cannot be disposed of with general waste such as toner and ink cartridges, fluorescent tubes, batteries, aerosols and cleaning materials – just ask for Hazpak, our all in one hazardous waste collection container.
