Hazardous Waste

Hazardous waste covers a wide variety of waste types and is anything that is considered to have a substantial threat to public health or the environment.

A hazardous waste onsite box is perfect for businesses that create small volumes of hazardous waste such as oils, cleaning chemicals, or aerosols and require a simple way to sort and dispose of these items. The box can take items up to 5kg/litres.

There are specific sets of rules regarding the disposal of hazardous waste, and it is illegal to mix hazardous waste with regular, non-hazardous waste.
