what the hazardous waste regulations mean
Since the hazardous waste regulations came into force in July 2005, it is deemed absolutely essential that any business or individual producing or handling hazardous waste must ensure that this waste doesn’t cause any damage. It is your responsibility and duty of care, to dispose of hazardous waste correctly. This includes any substance that can harm humans or the environment, such as (but not limited to):
- Asbestos
- Chemicals
- Batteries
- Solvents
- Pesticides
- Oils
- Equipment containing Ozone depleting substances
