What is hazardous waste?

Before hazardous waste disposal services can be explained, it is important to know what hazardous waste actually is.

In the simplest terms, hazardous waste includes any materials that might be hazardous to humans, animals or the environment.

Hazardous wastes are regulated by the Hazardous Waste Regulations 2005. Under this framework, certain materials are considered hazardous to human health or the environment if they meet specific criteria.

Some examples of hazardous substances include asbestos, mercury, lead paint and pesticides. These substances need to be disposed of properly because if they are inhaled or ingested, they can cause severe illness or even death. They can also cause significant damage to the environment.

This means that hazardous waste disposal cannot be taken lightly. Business owners need to make sure that their businesses are not exposing their employees or the environment to these substances by mishandling or failing to dispose of them responsibly.

Examples of waste classed as hazardous

The list of wastes that can be classed as hazardous is extensive. It includes any waste materials that have properties that make them harmful, flammable, corrosive, carcinogenic and toxic, among other things.

Some examples of hazardous substances include:

  • Chemical solvents
  • Paints
  • Oils and oil filters
  • Aerosols
  • Pesticides, herbicides or insecticides
  • Fluorescent tubes
  • Batteries
  • Gas cylinders
  • Fridges and freezers
  • Asbestos

There are, of course, many other materials and waste streams that are classed as hazardous. You must keep these materials separate from your general waste so that they can be collected, recycled and disposed of by a licensed hazardous waste company.

For businesses that produce small volumes of hazardous waste, a haz box is often the best solution. These are small lidded boxes that can be used to store mixed hazardous waste items.

Haz boxes are particularly suited to offices that can use them for the safe storage and disposal of batteries, toner cartridges, cleaning materials, aerosols and other common hazardous materials.

Having a dedicated storage container makes it much easier to segregate these items from your general waste. They are available with a range of collection frequencies to suit the needs of your business, making them a reliable and cost-effective option.
