hazardous waste disposal

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.

If your organisation produces any amount of hazardous waste, you have a 'duty of care' to ensure it is properly transferred, treated and disposed of.

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. 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 solution.

hazardous waste storage solutions

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.

In addition to UN-type approved kegs and drums, we can also supply larger on-site storage solutions for all types of hazardous waste. 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.
