Hazardous Waste
Removal Services
Hazardous waste is waste which has the potential to cause harm to humans or the environment. Examples include:
Asbestos
Asbestos can be found in any industrial or residential building built or refurbished before the year 2000. It is in many of the common materials used in the building trade that you may come across during your work.
Chemicals
Chemicals, like other types of waste, can be harmful to human health or to the environment, either immediately or over an extended period of time. Chemical waste, like other hazardous waste need to be treated, disposed of, or recycled, safely.
Batteries
There are some hazards associated with recycling and storing used batteries. These include contact with acid, which often leaks from old batteries, and a small risk of fire.
Your Duty of Care
The correct handling and disposal of such wastes is paramount to the containment of the hazard.
Not doing this correctly can result in catastrophic effects on human health, the environment, a companies reputation but also finances.
The Environment Agency will take steps resulting in heavy fines and business disruption.
