The importance of safe laboratory waste disposal
Laboratory waste disposal is controlled for good reason. Handled badly it puts people, drains and watercourses at risk, and the waste stays legally yours long after it leaves your gate. Doing it properly protects your staff, your business and the environment.
Protects your people
Compatible containers, correct labelling and trained handling remove the burn, fume and reaction risks that come with badly stored waste.
Keeps you compliant
Duty of care follows the waste. Licensed carriage, licensed disposal sites and accurate paperwork give you the evidence you need.
Protects the environment
Where the stream allows we recover rather than destroy, so useful material goes back into productive use.

Laboratory waste disposal questions answered
Common questions asked for commercial and industrial sites. If your question is not here, call 0845 366 9306 and our experts will answer it.
What laboratory waste can you collect?
We collect reagent bottles, solvents, acids and alkalis, fixatives, stains, expired standards, contaminated glassware and small packs of laboratory chemicals from schools, universities, research sites and industrial laboratories.
Do you provide lab packing for small chemical containers?
Yes. Small bottles are segregated by hazard class and lab packed into UN approved outer containers with absorbent, so incompatible substances never travel together.
Can you carry out a laboratory clearance?
We handle full laboratory clearances, including inventory, packing and removal, with a consignment note returned for every movement.
How is laboratory waste treated?
Laboratory waste goes to licensed disposal sites only. Where a stream can be recovered it is, and the rest is disposed of at a licensed site.
