Our Process

Our compliant three-stage hazardous liquid and packaged waste treatment process ensures safe handling, volume reduction and maximum landfill diversion.

Collection & Transfer

IBC’s are diverted to waste transfer station.

IBC containers and packaged hazardous liquids are collected and transported under ADR regulations to a licensed waste transfer station.

Upon arrival, all consignments are logged, inspected and segregated in accordance with Duty of Care and hazardous waste regulations.

Separation & Stabilisation

Liquid is drained off and solids are combined for stabilisation.

Liquids are carefully drained and separated from solid fractions using controlled handling procedures.

The remaining solids are consolidated and prepared for stabilisation treatment, reducing mobility and environmental risk prior to onward processing.

Recovery & Diversion

Solids are transferred to soil treatment facility to divert from landfill.

Stabilised materials are transferred to approved soil treatment facilities where they are processed to meet recovery or reuse criteria.

This approach maximises diversion from landfill while ensuring full regulatory compliance and environmental responsibility.
