Cyanide is a highly toxic chemical used in various industrial processes. The types of sectors we commonly work with includes manufacturers, pesticide producers, laboratories, textile and dye industries and pharmaceutical businesses.
These businesses must follow strict regulations for cyanide waste disposal due to its toxicity. Disposal often involves neutralisation or treatment at specialised hazardous waste facilities.
If you are a business located in the UK looking for cyanide disposal services, our team is here to help. We specialise in hazardous waste disposal, offering quick yet professional collections for businesses nationwide.
Cyanide is mainly used in industries such as mining, electroplating, chemical production, plastics manufacturing. It helps extract gold and silver from ore and is also used in metal cleaning and pesticides. Because cyanide is highly toxic, businesses generating cyanide waste must ensure safe disposal through licensed hazardous waste specialists.
Cyanide compounds should never be stored in ordinary plastic containers. They require approved, corrosion-resistant materials and secure labelling to prevent leaks and contamination. Improper storage can be dangerous and may breach UK hazardous waste regulations. Collect and Recycle provides safe collection, compliant storage advice, and professional cyanide waste disposal for businesses.
Cyanide can be neutralised through chemical treatments such as alkaline chlorination, hydrogen peroxide oxidation, or biological degradation under controlled conditions. These methods break down cyanide into safer by-products.
Because of the extreme risks, destruction must only be handled by licensed hazardous waste collectors like Collect and Recycle, ensuring legal compliance and environmental protection in the UK.
In the UK, the waste code for spent cyanide depends on its industrial source. Typically, 06 03 13 – solid salts and solutions containing cyanides* applies under the European Waste Catalogue (EWC). Businesses producing cyanide waste must follow strict Hazardous Waste Regulations.
