What Is Considered Hazardous Waste?

Hazardous waste is any material that poses a risk to human health or the environment and cannot be handled or disposed of through normal waste channels. This includes substances that are:

  • Corrosive
  • Flammable
  • Toxic
  • Reactive
  • Environmentally hazardous

Failure to manage hazardous waste correctly can result in fines, environmental damage, reputational harm, and legal liabilities under UK law.

Types of Hazardous Waste We Collect and Manage

  • Chemical Waste – Including industrial cleaning agents, solvents, acids, and alkalis.
  • Contaminated Waste – Oil-soaked rags, absorbents, PPE, and packaging.
  • Hazardous Sludge & Liquid Waste – From manufacturing or water treatment processes.
  • Laboratory Waste – Including small-volume chemical stocks, containers, and glassware.
  • Contaminated Soil & Construction Waste – Excavated during remediation or demolition works.

All waste is assessed and processed in accordance with waste classification and routed through approved treatment or disposal facilities.

Our Process – From Collection to Final Disposal

  1. Site Assessment & Waste Identification
    We begin with a full waste assessment, either through a site visit or documentation-based profiling. 
  2. Licensed Transport & Disposal
    Our trained drivers and waste carriers collect the materials using tracked vehicles and transport them to Environment Agency-approved disposal or treatment sites.
  3. Legal Documentation & Reporting
    We issue all necessary documentation, including:

    • Consignment notes
    • Duty of care statements
    • Certificates of disposal or recovery
    • Waste audit reports (on request)
  4. Ongoing Support & Waste Reduction Advice
    We support clients with waste reduction strategies, training, and improvements to on-site segregation and storage — helping reduce overall disposal costs and environmental risk.
