Frequently Asked Questions About Our Hazardous Waste Disposal

What counts as hazardous waste?

Hazardous waste refers to materials considered harmful to human health or the environment as classified under UK environmental regulations. Examples can include solvents, waste oils, acids, certain paints and contaminated absorbents. Classification depends on the waste’s composition and hazardous properties.

Waste producers have a legal duty of care to ensure hazardous waste is stored safely, accurately described and transferred to authorised waste carriers and treatment facilities. You’ll need to maintain proper documentation, including hazardous waste consignment notes. 

We’ll need to know about the waste type, quantity, packaging format (for example drums or IBCs), site location and any available waste classification details. In some cases, we may also recommend sampling to confirm the waste composition.

Minimum collection quantities and charges depend on the waste type, packaging and location. Contact our team to discuss your requirements. This service is for commercial and industrial customers.

CSG operates certified management systems including ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001. Our specialists assess each waste stream, support accurate classification and arrange appropriate handling, transport and treatment, recovery or disposal. We also provide the required waste documentation, giving you a clear record of each collection.

Yes. We can advise customers on suitable storage and packaging for hazardous waste, including the use of drums, IBCs or other approved containers. Where required, we can also supply appropriate containers as part of the service.

Collection times depend on your location, waste type, quantity and any assessment required. Contact our team with your requirements and we’ll confirm the earliest available collection.
