The Importance of Safe Containers for Hazardous Waste
When it comes to hazardous waste, safe storage and compliant containment are just as important as proper disposal.
Businesses and organisations have a legal and environmental responsibility to ensure hazardous materials are stored securely—minimising risk to people, property, and the planet.
That’s where Smart Waste Solutions comes in. We provide a wide range of compliant, high-quality containers for hazardous waste across the UK—available for hire or purchase, with flexible delivery and collection options.
Why Container Compliance Matters
Hazardous waste—including chemicals, oils, contaminated rags, solvents, aerosols, and batteries—must be stored in containers that meet strict UK safety regulations.
Improper storage can result in:
• Environmental contamination
• Risk of fire, spills, or exposure
• Legal penalties for non-compliance
• Invalidated insurance coverage
Whether you’re producing hazardous waste daily or dealing with occasional quantities, you need the right container for the right waste type—and that’s exactly what we supply.
