Solvent containers, even if empty, may contain residue. This classification means that the waste type may pose a threat to human health or the environment, if wrong disposal is present.
With our team, you can have peace of mind that your waste is dealt with appropriately. With years of experience in hazardous waste types, our team ensures your materials are disposed of or recycled safely and securely.
