Commercial Waste

From July 2005 businesses across the region who are producing hazardous waste will need to be able to describe exactly what their waste contains and this 'characterisation' will determine what can be done to minimise it, ease its recovery or ensure its safe disposal.

Waste is hazardous when it contains substances or has properties that might make it harmful to human health or the environment.

Because of their chemical content, some everyday household and businesses items such as computer monitors, televisions, fluorescent tubes and scrap cars have joined the list of toxic, corrosive and irritant substances and materials like asbestos, industrial chemicals and clinical waste under the 'hazardous' banner
