Subcontracting with Smart Waste: Your Behind-the-Scenes Haz Waste Heroes

Partnering with Waste Companies for Hazardous Waste Solutions - subcontracting services for haz waste

Lithium batteries power everything from smartphones to electric vehicles—but when they reach end-of-life, they become hazardous waste. Improper disposal risks fires, environmental damage, and legal penalties.

Well, it turns out that walking uphill repeatedly for 24 hours in 30+ degree heat really is as hard as it sounds. Who knew?

When it comes to hazardous waste, safe storage and compliant containment are just as important as proper disposal.

Big changes are here for vapes – and it’s not just vape retailers who need to pay attention. With the UK Government implementing a ban on the sale of single-use vapes from April 2025, there’s an urgent need to address how these items are disposed of safely and responsibly.

At Smart Waste Solutions, we specialise in hazardous and WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) waste – and vapes tick both boxes.

At Smart Waste Solutions Ltd, sustainability isn’t just part of our business—it’s a way we give back. That’s why we are incredibly proud to continue our partnership with Business Beats Cancer Chester as our chosen charity for 2025.

When it comes to managing waste, especially hazardous waste, compliance isn’t just a legal requirement—it’s a cornerstone of sustainable and responsible business practice.

At Smart Waste Solutions Ltd, we work with organisations across the UK to ensure their waste management strategies are safe, compliant, and aligned with sustainability goals. Here's why understanding hazardous waste legislation is essential for your business.

At Smart Waste Solutions, safety and compliance are at the heart of everything we do — especially when it comes to the transportation of hazardous materials. With new starters joining the team and ADR certification renewals taking place at different times, ongoing training and refresher sessions are essential to ensure everyone is up to date.

That’s why our latest Toolbox Talk, led by Nick Sighe, our in-house Senior Technical Assessor and Dangerous Goods Safety Adviser (DGSA), focused on ADR Instructions in Writing, Safety Awareness, and Equipment Familiarisation.

Exciting news! We have moved to our brand-new headquarters. As we celebrate our 10th year in business, this move marks a major milestone in our journey, providing us with a fresh space to continue delivering top-notch waste management services.
