What is hazardous liquid waste?
According to the European Environment Agency, liquid waste is defined as:
“Fluid wastes, consisting of sewage and domestic wastewater, or processed water, or other liquids, produced by industrial activity, particularly by such industries as pulp and paper production, food processing, and the manufacture of chemicals”.
Liquid waste can come from domestic or commercial sources and, in some cases, may be hazardous. General liquid waste often includes fats, used oils, liquids, solids, gases and sludges. Commercial materials such as cleaning fluids, pesticides and manufacturing by-products can also fall under the category of hazardous industrial liquid waste.
A hazardous waste label is given to any liquid waste that is considered harmful to humans and the environment. At RJS Waste Management, we are proud to be labelled as experts when it comes to hazardous waste, including bulk liquid waste collection, treatment and disposal.

As well as the general waste management guidelines, there are regulations that apply to hazardous liquid waste, regarding its:
- Creation
- Storage
- Transportation
- Treatment
- Disposal/recycling
Along with being fully insured licenced waste carriers, we also comply with the latest hazardous waste regulations. What is more, we follow The Environmental Protection Act 1990 and The Carriage of Dangerous Goods Regulations (CDG) closely for optimum health and safety. We always provide the relevant waste transfer documentation, including a hazardous waste consignment note, where relevant, and a duty of care waste transfer note.
Your bulk liquid waste collection will be sampled and tested in line with industry legislation. Our experienced team will then transport the hazardous waste safely and securely to the most suitable specialist site, where it will be treated and either recycled or incinerated, in line with the Waste Hierarchy.
