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.
