Laboratory Waste Disposal
Lab smalls packing, chemical identification and full consignment for schools, universities and R&D sites.
How our laboratory waste disposal service works
Our laboratory service handles everything from routine reagent clear outs to full decommissioning. Trained technicians attend site, identify and segregate unknown containers, pack lab smalls to ADR standards and produce the full documentation pack. We work around teaching timetables, clean room access restrictions and site permits, and can provide COSHH aligned inventories and photographic records of every container removed.
Every collection includes the same standard of care as a matter of course. We classify the waste with you and confirm the correct List of Waste coding, supply UN approved packaging and labelling before the collection date, and send an ADR trained driver with a compliant vehicle. The material is taken to permitted facilities only, and your hazardous waste consignment note is returned to you as evidence that the movement was handled correctly from start to finish.

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 permit position 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, permitted treatment and accurate paperwork give you the evidence regulators and auditors ask for.
Protects the environment
Where the stream allows we recover rather than destroy, so useful material goes back into productive use instead of being burned or buried.
