• Batteries – Both single-use and rechargeable batteries can contain hazardous substances like mercury, lead, cadmium, and other heavy metals.
• Paints and Solvents – Products containing volatile organic compounds (VOCs), heavy metals, and other toxic substances.
• Automotive Products – Used motor oil, antifreeze, and batteries These materials are considered hazardous due to their corrosive, flammable, reactive, or toxic properties, requiring special disposal methods to prevent harm to people or the environment.

Segregation and Packaging – Once identified our team will separate hazardous waste from non-hazardous materials and package it in appropriate containers labelled with the contents and hazard warnings.

Use Approved Facilities – We safely transfer the hazardous waste to facilities licensed to handle and process these materials safely. This often involves specialised treatment, neutralization, or containment methods.

Documentation – We maintain accurate digital records of hazardous waste disposal, including manifests that track the waste from the point of generation to the disposal facility.
