Contaminated containers

Contaminated containers

We can assist with the storage, safe collection and disposal of used or empty containers with hazardous residues, which should not be disposed of with general waste.

Typical items that we collect include:

- Empty oil containers

- Empty containers with residues of raw products

- Baled plastic packaging including tote bags

- Contaminated waste from laboratories

- Empty Winchester bottles with hazardous residues

It is illegal to dispose of packaging containing hazardous substances as general waste, they require washings before you can process the materials, in some cases the packaging will require incineration.
