Hazardous Waste Materials
Hazardous waste disposal must be carried out with complete professional care by trained specialists. The Mick George Group are fully licensed to dispose of hazardous waste on a national basis but specifically throughout Cambridge, Peterborough, Huntingdon, Leicester, Northampton, Milton Keynes and the surrounding areas.
Our hazardous waste services include collection, treatment and disposal, all carried out to the strictest health and safety standards.
We ensure that all the hazardous waste we collect is properly inventoried, tracked and stored at all times, before being treated or disposed of in the most appropriate and responsible manner possible.
If you operate a construction or demolition site which contains hazardous waste materials, it’s imperative that you have it disposed of by a licensed waste carrier, allowing your project to continue on schedule.
See below for more information on the various types of toxic, flammable, corrosive and oxidising materials handled within our purpose-built facilities designed to suitably manage hazardous materials.
Asbestos – Found in construction and demolition, often as insulation, asbestos poses a major health risk if the fibres are inhaled.
Fluorescent tubes – Found in some televisions as well as lightbulbs and lamps, these tubes contain mercury, a hazardous chemical which requires careful disposal to avoid contaminating the environment.
Rags, wipes, contaminated packaging – Any cloth or material which has been contaminated with hazardous material is itself then considered hazardous. This is commonly materials that are soiled with paints, oils and chemicals.
Waste Electrical and Electronic equipment (WEEE) – Often separated for recycling anyway, extra care must be taken for waste electrical items which contain hazardous components. This includes cooling agents from white goods and anything containing batteries, circuit boards or mercury switches.
Other Hazardous Waste Materials that we handle include:
• Alkaline • Corrosives • Diesel • Empty Drums • Flammable liquids & Solids • Fuels • Gases • Grease Guns |
• Inks • Pesticides • Plastic Containers • Resins • Sealants • Solvents • Toxic Substances |
