Hazardous waste collection
The introduction of the Hazardous Waste Regulations in July 2005 means that many everyday items are now classified as hazardous waste.
The new legislation ensures that correct disposal methods are deployed and that harmful components are not disposed of in landfill sites.
Bulky household waste items specified as hazardous can no longer be collected together with items that are non-hazardous and separate collection arrangements will be made for these items at a charge. See link below for our current charges.
An example of hazardous waste items are:
- White goods (fridges, freezers, cookers, washing machines etc.)
- TV and computer monitors
- Fluorescent lighting tubes (including those in sunbeds)
Please contact Wiggenhall Depot on 01923 235946 to arrange for collection of hazardous items.
