Chemical Waste Disposal

Managing chemical waste disposal is an integral part of any business that produces hazardous materials and because of the many legislations currently in place, it’s vital that any chemical waste is handled appropriately.

In order to help many businesses understand how to safely and effectively dispose of hazardous chemical waste, we have come up with five top tips that should simplify the entire process.

Tips for managing chemical waste disposal

  • Understand what type of hazardous waste you have

In order to safely and correctly manage chemical waste, it’s vital that you are aware of which type of chemical waste you need to store or dispose of. This is because there are a variety of regulations in place, such as the Hazardous Waste Regulations, that determine how each type of chemical waste should be disposed of.

  • Be aware of current legislations

Along with complying with the Hazardous Waste Regulations, there are also a variety of other legislations, including WEEE Regulations and EU legislations, that must also be adhered to. It’s imperative that you have an accurate and up to date knowledge of the latest changes to any relevant regulations when managing waste disposal.

  • Have a designated chemical waste storage area

Our next top tip for managing chemical waste disposal is to dedicate an area of your facility to storing waste. This area should be near where the waste is created and should be monitored by trained personnel. Furthermore, it should be clearly marked with a ‘hazardous waste’ sign to notify employees, passers-by and inspectors that chemical waste is being stored.

  • Correctly store the chemical waste

All chemical waste must be stored in leak-proof containers that are made from materials that won’t be corroded or damaged by the waste. Each container should be kept in good condition to prevent them becoming damaged and they should be kept closed at all times unless waste is being added.
