Hazardous Waste

The majority of businesses produce hazardous waste and it is crucial to ensure that this is disposed of safely and compliantly. Hazardous waste, if mismanaged, can cause a great deal of harm to human health and the environment: the potential costs of disposing of hazardous materials could also become greater over time. Under The Hazardous Waste Regulations (2005), the penalties for not managing your waste correctly include heavy fines and imprisonment. So, future-proof your business and don’t allow yourself to be subject to fires, fines or legal proceedings.

Fluorescent Tubes

Fluorescent tubes are mainly strip lighting used in many office buildings: because they contain mercury, they are classed as hazardous waste. B&M Waste Services offer a Lamp Safe Recycling Package for the storage, collection and disposal of fluorescent tubes.

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment

Items such as Fridges, Air Conditioning Units, Laptops, Televisions and Computer Monitors are all classed as hazardous waste so should be disposed of separately to non-hazardous WEEE. We offer a collection service that focuses on reuse and recycling to minimise the negative environmental impact these hazardous items could have.

Batteries

B&M operate a simple service where Battery Boxes are provided for customers to dispose of AA, AAA, C, D, button, laptop and mobile phone batteries. Once collected, the contents are then graded and recycled responsibly.

Testimonial

“We are delighted with your driver, who came to site today, to remove waste from ITV Leeds. Barry Court arrived on site, at the exact time arranged. He was polite, efficient and above all, very professional. Nothing was too much trouble for him. He had, a vast amount of waste to remove, but he undertook the job with such efficiency, that he must be thanked on behalf of Elite, for his fantastic work.” Elite Cleaning and Environmental Services
