Hazardous Waste Drum Collection Case Study

Paint and Aerosol Supplier Case Study

A paint and aerosol supplier recently got in touch with our team in regards to collecting their hazardous waste drums. The customer’s enquiry related to 4 x 200 litre drums of paint waste which required a safe collection from their site. 

The steel drums specifically contained pigmented acrylic and polyurethane liquids, as the business mixes paint for industrial use. To safeguard both the environment and the customer’s operations, each drum was handled according to stringent guidelines. 

By partnering with fully certified facilities, we ensured that the waste disposal met the highest standards for hazardous materials management.

How We Helped

As this waste is classed as hazardous, the business has a duty of care to dispose of the waste safely and professionally. With our team, we collected and disposed of the waste following stringent guidelines and regulations. All of the waste collected was transported to licensed treatment facilities for safe disposal. 

Whilst the waste was dealt with in a professional manner, the customer was also provided with all relevant documents including a hazardous waste consignment note. This contains detailed information on the waste collected and a full audit trail from the collection location to the disposal facility. 

The consignment note included:

• A description of the waste, including its composition and potential hazards
• Documentation of handling procedures, from on-site collection to final disposal
• Tracking details confirming the transfer of waste to a certified facility, satisfying all regulatory obligations

By managing both the physical and administrative aspects of the waste disposal process, we provided the customer with peace of mind, allowing them to focus on their core business without concern for regulatory compliance or environmental liability.
