FAQs on Hazardous Waste Management
How should I store hazardous waste on my premises?
Hazardous waste must always be stored safely and securely to prevent harm to people and the environment. You should:
- Use appropriate containers designed for handling hazardous waste.
- Store different types of hazardous waste separately to prevent any potential reactions.
- Label all hazardous waste containers clearly.
- Regularly inspect storage areas for leaks or damage.
- Arrange regular collections by a licensed waste carrier.
What are some common types of hazardous waste businesses produce?
Even if you don’t work with industrial chemicals, your business will likely generate some form of hazardous waste. Common examples include:
- Batteries (including lithium and lead-acid).
- Fluorescent tubes and light bulbs.
- Vapes and e-cigarettes.
- Printer toner and ink cartridges.
- Cleaning chemicals and detergents.
- Paints, solvents, and adhesives.
- Oil & Oily Rags

How often should hazardous waste be collected?
This depends on the volume and type of waste your business produces. Regular collections reduce the risk of leaks, contamination, and compliance breaches. A properly licensed waste management provider can advise on the best hazardous waste collection schedule for your business needs.
What are the legal requirements for hazardous waste disposal?
Hazardous waste disposal is governed by the Hazardous Waste Regulations 2005. Businesses must:

Can I mix different types of hazardous waste?
No. Different hazardous wastes should be kept separate to prevent dangerous reactions. Mixing waste types will make disposal more complex and costly for your business.
