Hazardous Waste

Waste is hazardous when it contains substances or has properties that might make it harmful to human health or the environment. The term 'hazardous' does not always mean that waste is necessarily toxic, though some can be.

New legislation on dealing with hazardous waste has already come into force with more still to come. As a result, many businesses may find themselves dealing with hazardous waste for the first time and facing increased waste management costs.

By improving the way in which they manage hazardous waste businesses can help reduce their environmental impact and cut costs in the process.
