What is Liquid Waste?

Liquid waste is any waste that is not collected in a solid form. It can cover a range of wastes from blood’s to oils but this waste stream is still classed as hazardous waste.

Within England, Wales and Northern Ireland all liquid wastes have been banned from landfill sites.

This means that the large majority of liquids have now been designated as a hazardous waste. Liquid waste covers a broad range of streams, the majority of which are usually collected in small quantitys within drums etc... but will also need to be collectd within specialy designated tanker vehicles.

Please note, you must have your site code to hand when booking this type of collection, along with the data cards/COSHH sheets. If you do not have a site code, please follow this link to register.
