What can go wrong without dedicated hazardous waste collections?
Hefty fines and risks to your business reputation. Not only could non-compliance land you a hefty fine, but it could also negatively impact your business’s reputation (which would inadvertently carry its own costs).
Relying on guesswork. The law is complex, and without dedicated experts managing your collections for you, you could be breaking the law without realising it.
Risking the health of others. Without safe collection, you’ll be harming wildlife, the environment and human health. It’s your responsibility to not let this happen.
We know that safe hazardous waste disposal can be complicated, so we're here to help you comply.
