Industrial waste collection
Professional industrial waste collection helps your business get rid of such rubbish appropriately. It’s a criminal offence to dump hazardous industrial waste or transport it without a waste carrier’s licence and appropriate permits. We offer industrial waste collection services for all types of businesses, large and small, across the UK.
We provide a range of specialist bins and containers for free to separate and store industrial waste – you just pay for collection. Then arrange industrial waste collection on a daily, weekly, or fortnightly basis depending on your needs. Collection can be scheduled at convenient times to operate around your business hours.
Licensed waste carriers will remove your industrial waste and transport it to a nearby waste management facility. This ensures safe and legal collection, and you receive a free duty of care certificate as further proof. Our industrial waste services ensure your waste is separated according to the relevant regulations and re-used wherever possible.

Industrial waste disposal and recycling
Methods of industrial waste disposal depend on the specific materials, volumes, and waste management facility. This involves specialist treatment, reuse, recovery, and recycling to extract value from the materials via various methods. All industrial waste is disposed of away from landfill with our services to protect the environment.
After collection, your industrial waste will go to a waste management facility for disposal. Here it’s checked, sorted, and separated into different material streams and processed appropriately. For example, any industrial hazardous waste will be segregated and treated to remove and destroy its harmful elements.
It may not be possible to fully recycle hazardous, toxic, and chemical industrial waste due to its nature. Instead, it’s usually treated chemically, thermally, biologically, or physically. This avoids the industrial waste going to landfill and the dangerous elements are destroyed in as environmentally friendly a way as possible.
Industrial waste recycling is possible with other materials. For example, industrial metal, paper, and plastic can usually be separated and recycled with the rest of its waste stream. It may be removed and sent to paper mills or specialist recycling centres where they’re recycled into fresh materials and products.

Who needs industrial waste disposal?
Most manufacturing businesses require industrial waste disposal to get rid of any by-products, offcuts, and other waste they generate safely. Factories, mills, and plants are the main types of businesses this applies to, but businesses in other sectors may also need industrial waste disposal services. These can include:
- Automotive – car manufacturing produces waste metal and more, while garages may have to get rid of unusable fuel and lubricants.
- Construction – such as packaging waste and the results of demolition.
- Factories – the main businesses that generate industrial waste through manufacturing operations across many sectors.
- Hospitals – often hospitals produce chemical and hazardous industrial waste as by-products of other materials they produce and use.
- Laboratories – use of chemicals within research can create industrial waste that may be hazardous.
Industrial waste types and examples
Industrial waste comes from manufacturing, industrial, and commercial activities. It can be solid and liquid with industrial waste examples including everything from oil and sludge to wood, scrap metal, and lumber. Some can be collected, recycled, or disposed of in the usual manner for that waste type, others require specialist handling.
Toxic, chemical, and radioactive industrial waste must be handled and disposed of by expert waste management professionals to ensure hazardous waste doesn’t put anyone or the environment at risk. The likes of metal, plastic, and wood can be removed by licensed waste carriers.
Industrial waste examples vary depending on the kind of business and its activities. These are some of the main types of industrial waste:
- Toxic waste – usually by-products that are harmful to humans, wildlife, and the environment.
- Chemical waste – chemicals such as acids, alkalis and phenols, and their residues.
- Solid waste – industrial and municipal solid waste includes everything from animal food to glass and electronic waste.
- Paper products – pulp and paper mills can create excess paper waste.
- Radioactive waste – hazardous waste containing radioactive material requires specialist removal.
- Metal waste – often unusable by-products from manufacturing cars, electronic devices, and more.
- Redundant fuel and lubricants – any fuel factories cannot use, such as due to contamination.
- Drums, containers, and bulk items – large items used during the manufacturing process that may be broken, contaminated or unusable.
