Industrial Waste Management & Collection Services

Industrial waste refers to any waste generated during manufacturing, engineering, processing, fabrication, or industrial activities. It covers metals, plastics, oils, sludge, chemicals, contaminated materials, paper by-products, and production offcuts. Hazardous waste falls under this category and must follow strict legal controls.

It must be:

• Segregated into the correct streams
• Stored in suitable containers
• Kept secure and labelled
• Collected by licensed waste carriers
• Accompanied by compliant Duty-of-Care documentation

Hazardous industrial waste requires approved labs, treatment facilities or specialist disposal routes.

Many types of industrial waste can be recycled, including metal, cardboard, plastics, pallets, paper, and some oils. Recycling normally involves sorting, shredding, washing, reprocessing, or refining. Hazardous waste may need chemical, thermal, or biological treatment before any recovery is possible.

Poorly stored liquids, oils, chemicals or contaminated materials can leak into drains, soil or waterways. This risks prosecution under UK environmental law. Correct storage and compliant disposal prevent contamination and protect your business from legal action.

• Improve on-site segregation
• Use balers and compactors
• Switch to returnable packaging
• Keep recyclables free from contamination
• Audit waste streams regularly

This depends on your waste types. Most sites require a combination of wheelie bins, skips, IBCs, drums, and containers approved for hazardous waste. We provide all industrial bins free of charge.
