Why safe disposal is so important

If you produce any hazardous waste onsite, you must ensure that these materials are removed and disposed of correctly. Not only is this crucial for protecting the environment, but it is also a legal requirement.

Failing to follow the relevant hazardous waste disposal regulations can lead to hefty fines and even prosecution.

Impacting profits in the long term

Improper hazardous substance removal can cause irreversible damage to your company’s reputation, which in turn, will impact your profits and bottom line.

With that in mind, you must have a clear understanding of your responsibilities as well as hazardous waste removal companies and COSHH waste removal services.

We’re here to help ensure your hazardous waste disposal is efficient and legally compliant.

What is hazardous waste?

Waste is considered to be hazardous if it has the potential to harm human life or the environment. This includes materials such as asbestos, solvent-based paints, and fuel oils.

These waste items require specialist waste removal and should not be thrown in your regular waste collections.

What are the 4 types of hazardous waste?

  • Chemical waste
  • Electrical waste
  • Paint waste
  • Asbestos

Waste Electrical Clearance (WEEE)

Most people use electronics daily and it’s vitally important that you know how to dispose of these items when they are no longer needed. Anything with an electric current running through it is considered to be hazardous. This includes mobile phones, computers, laptops, power tools, and so on.

We can collect your electrical items

Electrical waste items must be taken to a regulated WEEE hazardous waste disposal facility. Rather than doing this yourself, we can collect any unused electrical items from your London property and ensure they are disposed of swiftly and safely.
