How our liquid waste disposal service works
Liquid waste may cover tank washings, interceptor contents, oily water, chemical liquors, laboratory liquids and unknown drummed liquids left behind on site. Tell us what the liquid is and we send the right vehicle, whether that is a small van or a curtain sided vehicle for drummed and IBC packed waste. The disposal route depends on the waste stream, with recovery prioritised where possible.
Every collection includes the same standard of care as a matter of course. The material is taken to licensed disposal or recycling sites in our network, and your hazardous waste consignment note is returned to you for your records.

The importance of safe liquid waste disposal
Liquid 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.
