As specialists in hazardous waste, we benefit from an ADR qualified logistics team. Your waste will be safely disposed of and recycled where possible, with digital hazardous waste consignment notes available.
We are committed to driving sustainability through increased recycling and material recovery. Where recycling isn't possible, we prioritise responsible reprocessing methods and waste-to-energy solutions.
We provide a dedicated point of contact and a dependable service. We can collect multiple waste types in a single collection, helping to deliver both cost and environmental savings.
Disposing of ethanol following local regulations and hazardous waste guidelines is critical when disposing of ethanol. Our specialist hazardous waste disposal team can ensure this chemical waste is disposed of safely. This is whilst minimising impact on the environment through environmentally friendly methods.
Ethanol, commonly used in laboratories as one of the primary organic solvents, requires careful handling and disposal. This is due to its flammable nature and potential environmental impact. We can provide guidance on how to dispose of ethanol in the UK, whilst offering professional disposal services.

Laboratories generate ethanol waste in various forms, ranging from pure solvents to ethanol-containing mixtures. Proper disposal practices are essential to prevent health risks, environmental pollution, and fire hazards. Laboratories should implement strict protocols for ethanol waste.
Personnel should receive training on the correct procedures for handling and disposing of ethanol waste, emphasising the risks associated with its flammability and reactivity.
You should also maintain accurate records of ethanol waste generation and disposal, ensuring traceability and compliance with regulatory requirements.
Clearly label ethanol waste containers. This distinguishes them from other waste types, especially from hazardous chemicals like acids and bases.
Ethanol waste should be kept separate from other chemical wastes, particularly oxidising agents, acids, and bases, to prevent dangerous reactions.
Store ethanol waste in dedicated, well-ventilated areas away from ignition sources. Use appropriate containers to prevent leaks and evaporation.
Our team are well-versed in the handling of flammable solvents and can advise on the best practices for ethanol waste management, ensuring safety and regulatory compliance. With certified disposal services, we provide documentation certifying that ethanol waste has been disposed of correctly, aiding laboratories in maintaining compliance records.
Proper disposal also minimises the risk of environmental contamination, supporting laboratories’ commitments to sustainability and environmental stewardship. By using professional disposal services, laboratories mitigate the risks associated with on-site storage and self-disposal of ethanol, including potential regulatory penalties and safety hazards.
Choosing our ethanol disposal service ensures that your laboratory adheres to best practices in waste management. This prioritises safety, compliance, and environmental responsibility. We also specialise in disposing of lab waste such as acetone, acid, chlorine, mercury and more.

Ethanol should be stored in a cool, well-ventilated area away from any sources of ignition as it is highly flammable. Use containers that are specifically designed for flammable liquids and ensure they are clearly marked with hazardous waste labels.
The storage area should be equipped with appropriate spill containment measures to handle potential leaks or spills. It’s crucial to comply with the guidelines set by the Environmental Protection Agency concerning the storage of hazardous materials like ethanol. Regular inspections and proper inventory management are essential to safely handle this type of waste and prevent accidents in laboratory settings.
No, ethanol should not be disposed of down the sink. Pouring ethanol down the drain can violate local regulations regarding the disposal of chemicals and can lead to environmental harm.
Laboratories should treat ethanol as hazardous waste and follow the protocols for hazardous wastes regulated by environmental protection agencies. Instead of sink disposal, ethanol should be collected in designated containers and handed over to a waste management facility that is equipped to handle such hazardous materials. This ensures it is processed in a way that minimises environmental impact.
