Hazardous Waste

Hazardous Waste Collection & Disposal

At Egan Waste Services we can provide tailored solutions for the disposal of hazardous waste. We can gather samples for analysis, prior to collection, so we can determine the appropriate treatment, and then safely transport it to our own treatment facility (licence permitting), or to another authorised and approved facility. We can safely dispose of drummed waste, batteries, aerosols, laboratory clearances, WEEE, fluorescent tubes and asbestos, although this list is not exhaustive.

We'll supply you with a specially designed skip, or container in which to store your hazardous waste until it is ready for collection. We'll then collect it from your premises carefully, ensuring that it's safely disposed of and in line with current hazardous waste regulations. We can advise you on your legal requirements for different hazardous waste types and we can also register your site as a hazardous waste producer if you are legally required to do so.

In our tankers, we can transport many forms of hazardous waste, from sludges to solvents. Our vehicles include mild steel and stainless steel and tanks.

Drummed and packaged waste can be collected by us, and our services range from a one off service to regular consignments of drums and intermediate bulk containers (IBC’s).

Our service complies with the latest hazardous transport legislation.

Tank Cleaning and Removal

At Egan Waste Services we provide a cost-effective tank cleaning service, ensuring that tanks are taken out of service for the minimum time. Our cleaning methods have always met and frequently exceeded expectations of our clients. Our operatives are trained to operate in confined spaces using the required safety equipment and have been trained to a City and Guilds standard for entry into tanks, and further, to WJA standards for any jetting operations carried out. We can follow all cleaning by carrying out an inspection of the tank for re-use and / or issue gas-free certification. At all times we ensure that your tank cleaning is managed and work is carried out to the highest standards, and the environment is not adversely affected.

 Exceptional care must always be taken when decommissioning and removing tanks particularly where there is a risk of pollution, or even explosion. Egan Waste Services can provide specialist care with many years’ experience of tank removal. With safe systems of work in place and the correct equipment, tank removal is carried out safely and efficiently, frequently with minimal disruption to businesses or homeowners. Every tank removal job is different, that is why we’ll produce a tailored proposal and safe system of work to suit your needs. All of our work is carried out by our own team, and we don’t subcontract our work. We ensure that all tanks are gas-free before removal and provide our customer with the required certification.

We have many years’ experience of cleaning and removal of all types of storage tanks, situated in local authority yards to major refinery and military holding tanks.
