Train Care & Maintenance Business Case Study
As specialists in hazardous waste, we recently received an enquiry from a railway train care business looking for help disposing of paint waste. Offering quick collections nationwide, our team got back to them swiftly to remove the large volumes of paint efficiently.
The waste included mixed paint tins, which must be treated professionally to ensure the chemicals are disposed of safely.
How Did We Help?
We collected approximately 40 x 5-litre cans of mixed paint, including primer, gloss, undercoat and roof paint. This included both full and part-full containers, as well as aerosols.
Due to the nature of this waste, our ADR verified team removed the materials in line with regulations, transporting materials to licensed treatment facilities. Here, the waste was disposed of safely and securely using specialised processes.
The client was also provided with a hazardous waste consignment note. This presents a full audit trail for hazardous waste, a requirement when dealing with this type of waste.
The Cost & Environmental Benefits
By using our services, the client avoided potential fines and environmental harm associated with improper disposal of hazardous waste. The paint was processed in an environmentally responsible way, with a focus on recycling and recovery wherever possible.
Additionally, our efficient, nationwide collection service allowed the client to save on transportation costs, as we could collect directly from their site without requiring additional logistics planning.
In addition to the paint waste, we discussed with the client the possibility of collecting other waste streams, including fluorescent lighting tubes commonly used in railway facilities. With our experience managing a variety of hazardous and non-hazardous waste, we’re confident in providing a seamless service for these items in the future.
