Almost every business produces hazardous waste, from electrical items and batteries to oils and chemicals and this waste must be disposed of safely as it contains properties that make it damaging to our health or the environment.

The current picture

·        Each year more than 5.2 million tonnes of hazardous waste is produced in the UK

·        The production of hazardous waste is growing each year by an estimated 8%

How can Cawleys help?

Our specialist Hazardous Waste Services Division help businesses of all sizes find safe, sustainable and cost effective solutions for this waste, including:

• Regular and one off interceptor cleaning projects - Interceptors play an essential part in ensuring that any contaminants such as oils and fuels, silt and dirt are separated from your site's stormwater. Regular interceptor and separator emptying and cleaning is vital to keeping any site drainage running efficiently.

• Liquid hazardous waste - disposed of safely using our fleet of industrial vacuum tankers, which can handle all types of hazardous bulk liquids and sewage. In line with our sustainability ethos, we aim to repurpose all bulk liquid waste collections, finding second life uses for all waste streams where possible.

• Large clearances and regular collections for a wide range of waste streams collected using drums, IBCs and packaged waste such as aerosols, oily rags, paints, batteries and cleaning agents.

• Fully compliant re-use and recycling options for redundant or damaged Waste Electronic and Electrical Equipment (WEEE).

·        Sorting, segregation, packing and transportation of laboratory waste.

• Industrial cleaning projects such bulk liquid tanker removal and disposal, high-pressure water jetting with CCTV Survey, heavy sludge management, tank cleaning with or without confined space requirements, spray booth cleaning and industrial decommissioning including redundant tank removal.

• Sewage - we collect and dispose of sewage from septic tanks, cesspits, cesspools and sewage treatment plants of all sizes.
