The average household is allowed to use municipal dumps to dispose of bags of garbage, but very seldom will these facilities accept large amounts of trash that are the result of manufacturing, construction, or other industrial processes. The laws regarding Industrial Waste Redcliffe businesses should be aware of are much more stringent than household trash. Many materials are expected to be recycled, and other types of garbage require a fee to dump.
It is sufficiently expensive to dump at industrial waste Redcliffe sites that recycling is generally more profitable. All metals should be recycled, concrete can easily be crushed and added to new concrete, and most form of plastic can be recycled. Any form of hazardous biomass or toxic waste must be disposed by the appropriate authority.
Hire a contractor that understands how to handle these various forms of waste. While the most toxic substances must be handled by specialists, ordinarily difficult substances such as lead and battery acid are easily managed by our professional teams. We know how to separate different types of trash and deliver them in bulk to the appropriate recyclers. Our preferred business is large amounts of a single type of material, although some materials can be separated on site and placed in appropriate receptacles before hauling them away.
We love this business because many materials bring revenue by recycling. Virtually all metals have a high sales price, and bales of plastic and cardboard have a modest market value. Reusable material such as concrete rubble are better recycled onsite, but we can haul this away as needed. Biomass such as limbs and grass clippings are easily handed to a municipal shredder or compost site.
Anything that is an extreme biohazard or very toxic needs special handling. Check our list to see which hazardous substances that we handle. Acids and caustic solutions must be kept separate and hauled away in appropriate containers. Some acids can be diluted and disposed in ordinary sewage water, but large quantities of acid must be hauled away by truck. Any synthetic chemical or what might be toxic even in small doses must be held in marked containers.
Always check your safety data sheet. We check ours and calculate the cost of disposing of any hazardous substance in a particular amount. Our industrial waste workers can handle most substances that only require normal precautions and are expert at handling control containers without spillage or environmental contamination.
Whenever disposing of a hazardous substance, call in advance. It is better to make arrangements than issue a cold call. Once a pickup arrangement is settled, future disposal operations will require less time and paperwork.
