What is hazardous waste?
Hazardous waste is defined as anything that has the potential to be harmful to people or the environment. The list of items classed as hazardous is extremely far reaching and it isn’t always easy to tell which items and substances are, and are not, in the classification. Indeed, in a growing number of circumstances substances and liquids may have been stored for some time or without labels in which case a series of tests may be required to actually identify what the items are.
There are many waste substances and by-products that have the potential to be dangerous for a variety of reasons and there are many instances in which information and advice from an expert is vital.
