The stream where the paperwork is the product.
Paint, chemicals, contaminated soil, asbestos and everything else that cannot travel on an ordinary waste transfer note. Licensed carriers, consignment-note controlled, sealed containers where the material needs one.

What makes waste hazardous.
Not how dangerous it looks. Hazardous waste is a legal classification, and the consequence of the classification is a different carrier, a different facility and a different document that has to be kept.

What we can route.
Over-ordering wastes money and under-ordering wastes a delivery slot. We would rather tell you now than send you the wrong thing.
- ✓Bonded asbestos, double-bagged, in a sealed skip
- ✓Paint, solvents, adhesives and sealants
- ✓Contaminated soil, with testing where needed
- ✓Oils, filters, batteries and fluorescent tubes
What we would not put in it
- ✗Loose fill asbestos, sprayed coatings and insulating board. These need a licensed removal contractor before any container is involved, and we will point you to one
- ✗Unlabelled drums of unknown liquid. They have to be identified before anyone can legally move them
- ✗Hazardous material mixed into general waste. It must be separated first
Not sure which side of the line your waste falls on? Ask us. It is a thirty second conversation and it saves a wasted delivery.
Three steps, and one of them is ours.
Tell us the postcode
Four fields. No account, no sign-up, and nobody rings you to qualify you before you get a number.
We price it against the market
We are a brokerage, so your job goes out to the suppliers who actually cover your postcode rather than to one depot's price list.
A real person comes back
Usually within the hour in working hours, with a price and a delivery date. If a different size saves you money, we say so.
One call instead of four.
You can do this yourself. Most people do it once and then stop, because the hour it takes is worth more than the difference it finds.
Doing it yourself
- ✗Hazardous material hidden in a general skip
- ✗A rejected load and a potential enforcement problem
- ✗No consignment note when an inspector asks
- ✗Ringing round to find anyone licensed to take it
One point of contact
- ✓Classified properly before anything is booked
- ✓Licensed hazardous carriers, arranged for your postcode
- ✓Consignment note issued and filed as standard
- ✓A straight answer about what is and is not legal
The things people ask before booking.
Describe it to us. Hazardous is a legal classification rather than a judgement about how dangerous something looks, and the common site items that qualify surprise people: paint, adhesives, fluorescent tubes, batteries, oils and filters all count. It costs nothing to ask and a great deal to guess wrong.
The document hazardous waste moves on instead of an ordinary waste transfer note. It tracks the material from your site to the facility that takes it, and you are required to keep your copy for three years. We issue it as standard on every hazardous collection.
Bonded asbestos, double-bagged, in a sealed lockable skip, collected by a licensed carrier. Loose fill, sprayed coatings and insulating board are a different matter entirely and need a licensed removal contractor first. Tell us what you are looking at and we will tell you which it is.
Common on brownfield and former industrial sites, and entirely routable. It usually needs testing first so the right facility can be chosen, which is worth starting early because it affects the programme rather than just the price.
We are registered with the Environment Agency as an upper tier waste carrier, broker and dealer, registration CBDU649744, and every hazardous collection is placed with a licensed carrier. The registration is at the bottom of this page.

Tell us what the material is, roughly how much, and the postcode. If it needs testing or a specialist first, we will say so.
