Confidential waste disposal & destruction
Secure total waste management solutions
We incorporate secure waste disposal into a total waste management solution tailor made to your business, managing all waste streams, including general waste, dry mixed recycling, cardboard and packaging as well as hazardous and confidential waste.
We assess your waste streams to find more efficient ways to manage your confidential waste while ensuring full compliance throughout the disposal process. We aim to reduce waste creation and increase recycle rates through effective total waste management solutions.
Secure Destruction Regulations
While the standard duty of care regulations apply to organisations disposing of waste, many businesses choose to use secure destruction to protect the integrity of their brand; prevent surplus stock or prototypes from entering the second-hand market; and ensure that competitive information about products or services is not leaked.
The duty of care regulations state that as a waste holder you must take all reasonable steps to:
Prevent unauthorised or harmful deposit, treatment or disposal of waste
Ensure that all waste is disposed of with a business or individuals that have the correct and relevant environmental permit issued but the environmental agency like recycling lives
Prevent other parties from breaching permit conditions relevant to the type of waste they process
Provide an accurate description of the waste when it is transferred to another business or individual
Retain waste documentation about non-hazardous waste for two years
