How to Dispose of Hazardous Waste

Hazardous waste disposal requires a specialised approach due to the danger it presents.

Classify your waste : Identify your waste using the correct classification code. Provide details such as the substance name, where it originated, the process that generated the waste, a chemical and physical analysis, and other relevant information.

Separate and store safely : Different types of hazardous waste need separate containers from authorised supplies, labelled and stored in a dry, secure place.

Arrange authorised collection : Ensure the waste carrier you use is registered for the collection, transportation, and disposal of hazardous waste. 

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

Have your hazardous waste collected : Move your safely stored hazardous waste to a designated collection point for pickup by an expert waste carrier. Remember to keep copies of all hazardous waste consignment notes for at least three years.

We turn guesswork into teamwork, with an expert team on hand to support you with all things hazardous waste packaging, disposal and compliance.

How do you identify hazardous waste?

Before waste is disposed of it needs to be identified and classified, the following can help you determine if your waste is hazardous:

  • Check the waste classification code, also known as the Low (List of Waste) or EWC (European Waste Catalogue) code.
  • Refer to the manufacturer’s or supplier’s safety data sheet, which provides information on hazards and disposal considerations.
  • Examine the containers for orange and black danger symbols (old symbols) or red and white hazard pictograms and assess the associated hazards.
  • Consider sending samples of the waste to a laboratory for testing.
  • Seek advice from a knowledgeable waste management specialist or contractor.

In Great Britain, the Environment Agency offers technical guidance on waste classification and assessment.
