Does your business produce hazardous waste?
Maybe you aren’t 100% sure what constitutes hazardous waste, if so we’re here to help.
Hazardous waste is harmful when it contains properties that make it damaging to our health or the environment. It is for that reason that the Hazardous Waste Regulations were implemented in 2005 to bring everyday items including computer monitors, TVs, fluorescent tubes and other electrical items under the scope of the requirements.
Disposing of hazardous waste can be dangerous and it requires skill and expertise to the do the job properly.

WEEE
The waste electronic and electrical equipment directive (w.e.e.e) bans the use of certain hazardous components in newly manufactured goods in this category.
More importantly from a waste disposal perspective it requires that all waste goods of this type are recycled. This will have a major impact on businesses as disposing of equipment of this nature with general waste is no longer permitted.
At Cawleys we provide a range of fully compliant re-use and recycling options for redundant or damaged WEEE equipment. We can also offer confidential shredding of this material that is sensitive or branded. Our simple cost-effective service ensures that all required documentation is available for audit trail.

Interceptor and Separator Cleaning
Interceptors play an essential part in ensuring that any contaminants such as oils and fuels, silt and dirt are separated from your sites storm water.
Regular interceptor and separator emptying and cleaning is vital to keeping any site drainage running efficiently, and the Environment Agency recommends that forecourt interceptors are maintained every six months in accordance with its Pollution Prevention Guideline (PPG3).
If left without regular servicing, collected sediment can build up or cause blockages leading to troublesome water build-up in places where rain water is unable to drain away fast enough. Additionally, if left un-separated surface water can damage the environment and pollute rivers, streams, and groundwater.
Cawleys Hazardous Services can provide a regular or one-off cleaning and emptying service which includes:
