How to Dispose of Chemical Waste
It’s crucial to dispose of chemical waste responsibly and compliantly to protect ourselves and our environment.
Classify your waste : Once classified, chemical waste containers must be clearly labelled with the chemical’s name, concentration, hazard symbols and any relevant safety information.
Separate and store safely : Different chemicals need separate containers. Segregate incompatible chemicals and store them separately to prevent chemical reactions and maintain an accurate inventory of all chemical on-site.
Ensure that your storage area is adequately designed to prevent accidents and spills. Consider factors such as ventilation, lighting, and accessibility.
Arrange authorised collection : Ensure the waste carrier you use is reputable and registered for the collection, transportation, and disposal of chemical waste.
Be prepared for emergencies : Conduct regular inspections and develop emergency procedures and have a response plan in place to address spills, leaks or accidents involving chemical waste.
Seek professional advice and guidance : If you’re unsure about how to dispose of a particular type of chemical waste or what type of chemicals you have, consult with a chemical waste expert.
Fill in a hazardous waste consignment note : Fill in the appropriate parts of a hazardous waste consignment note and give it to the waste carrier – it must accompany the waste until disposal or recycling.

FAQs about Hazardous Waste Disposal
A variety of chemical waste can be either hazardous or non-hazardous. It can exist in various forms – solid, liquid, or gaseous – and may pose risks to human and environmental health.
Chemical waste is any waste product that contains or was in contact with dangerous chemicals. It can be a solid, liquid, or gaseous material that may pose a hazard to human or environmental health.
There are many types of chemical waste, some of which you may not expect to be classified as such. Common chemical wastes include:
- Batteries
- Chemical containers or packaging
- Cleaning products, e.g. detergents, disinfectants, and sprays
- Fluorescent light bulbs – argon, xenon, neon, and mercury vapour
- Paints, e.g. emulsion, gloss, primer, etc
- Printer toner and ink cartridges
- Pesticides – insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, and biocides
- Solvents – acetone, ethanol, methanol
In the past, companies used to send chemical waste to landfills, risking leaks into the surrounding ground or water and causing pollution. Fortunately, there are alternative methods available for chemical waste disposal, depending on the type of chemicals involved.
These disposal methods include:
- Reclamation: This involves removing and recycling chemical waste products like mercury from items such as broken thermometers.
- Dewatering: This method is suitable for oil waste, separating the oil from water for proper disposal.
- Filtering and distilling: Filtering eliminates additives or inorganic materials, whilst distilling refines oil through boiling. Both processes enable the reuse of oil in some capacity.
- Chemical treatments: Certain types of chemical waste, such as sulphuric or hydrochloric acids can be repurposed after undergoing specific chemical treatments.
- Thermal treatments: Applying heat helps sanitise waste products, ensuring the safe and secure disposal of chemical waste.
