Hazardous Waste Disposal and Removal: Ensuring Safe and Responsible Practices.


Hazardous waste disposal and removal must be managed appropriately to prevent serious harm to people and the environment. Hazardous waste can take various forms, from industrial byproducts to household chemicals. If not handled and removed correctly, such waste can pose significant risks. This is where hazardous waste disposal and removal services come in to ensure safe and responsible practices.


What is hazardous waste?


Many household and business materials must be safely disposed of to protect the environment and ourselves. Identifying the products and following the hazardous waste disposal regulations is crucial.


Here are some examples of hazardous waste commonly used in households and businesses:


  • Asbestos.
  • Chemicals, such as brake fluid or print toner.
  • Batteries (e.g. lead acid, Ni-Cd and mercury).
  • Solvents.
  • Pesticides.
  • Oils (except edible ones), such as car engine oil.
  • Equipment containing ozone depleting substances, like fridges.
  • Hazardous Waste Containers.
  • Electrical equipment with potentially harmful components such as cathode ray tubes - eg computer monitors and televisions.
  • Fluorescent light tubes and energy-saving light bulbs. 


Hazardous waste DISPOSAL usually includes the following:

  • Grease Traps Cleaning

    If you are in charge of maintaining a pub, restaurant, hotel, commercial kitchen, or food processing plant. You probably use a grease trap to prevent fats and grease waste from clogging your drainage system or contaminating your small sewage treatment plant.


    Blockages can cause hygiene issues and foul odours and become toxic over time. Food deposited in a grease trap can rot and release toxic gases such as sulphates.


    WET offers commercial grease trap cleaning services tailored to your catering business, ensuring compliance with health and hygiene regulations.


  • Landfill Leachate Collections

    Leachate is a liquid produced when water percolates through waste in landfill sites and reacts with decomposing materials. The risks to public health and the environment from the microorganisms and toxic substances, including ammonia and nitrogen, found in leachates are high. WET carry out leachate collections from landfill sites.

  • Silt And Sludge Removal Service

    Silts and sludges are waste streams defined to have a high solid content, which, if left over time, can cause blockages in drainage systems and storage tanks. Silt and sludge removal can prevent damage to your equipment and maintain the efficiency of any processes. 


    Contact WET for a hazardous waste collection or a maintenance service for your drains and storage tanks. 

  • Fuel And Oil Interceptor Emptying & Cleaning

    Fuel and oil interceptors are typically found where vehicles or machinery may leak fuel or oil onto the ground, such as petrol station forecourts, carparks, garages, distribution depots, factories, and car or truck washes. These are often overlooked but essential equipment that separates oil and fuels from wastewater generated on your premises, preventing contamination of the drainage network.


    The Environment Agency recommends clearing the interceptors every six months to prevent blockages and pollution of your drainage systems and the surrounding environment. We offer hassle-free interceptor emptying services at regular intervals to assist you with this.

  • Gully Sucking And Emptying

    Road gullies are designed to handle surface water and retain debris, usually leaves and silts, to prevent them from entering the drainage system and causing pipe blockages and flooding.


    With the risk of flooding increasing yearly and record levels of rainfall in certain areas, the need for cleaning road gullies has become even more significant and relevant.


    Whether as part of an ongoing maintenance plan or a one-off emergency fix, we can supply a gully sucker to attend your site and undertake the cleaning of all gullies, ensuring the removed waste is disposed of correctly and meeting legislation.
