What Counts as Hazardous Waste?

Hazardous waste is any material harmful to human health or the environment, and it carries strict legal handling requirements. Common examples we handle for UK businesses include solvents, acids and alkalis, oils, batteries, asbestos, clinical sharps, contaminated packaging, paints and laboratory chemicals. If you are unsure whether your waste is classified as hazardous, our team can assess it against the European Waste Catalogue and advise on the correct EWC codes. Getting classification right is the first step to safe, legal disposal and avoiding penalties.

Our Hazardous Waste Collection and Disposal Process

We make hazardous waste removal straightforward. We start with a site assessment to identify your waste streams, then supply the correct containers and labelling. Collections are carried out by trained operatives in licensed vehicles, and every load is tracked with the required consignment documentation. Waste is taken to permitted treatment and recovery facilities, with recycling and recovery prioritised over landfill wherever possible. You receive full paperwork for your records, giving you a clear audit trail from collection through to final treatment.

Compliance and Duty of Care

Every UK business has a legal duty of care for the waste it produces, and the responsibility does not end when the waste leaves your site. PJ Environmental keeps you compliant at every stage. We are a registered waste carrier, we issue consignment notes for hazardous loads, and we retain the records you need to demonstrate compliance to the Environment Agency. Our team keeps pace with changing waste regulations so you do not have to, reducing your risk of fines and reputational damage from improper disposal.
