Hazardous wastes are substances that can harm the environment, and affect the health of people and animals. Hazardous wastes are harmful because they are:
Explosive, flammable, reactive, toxic, corrosive or infectious
Hazardous wastes are produced by factories, users of toxic products, (such as people who use cleaning products and chemicals) and even households. Potentially hazardous wastes are about 1% of household rubbish bags and transfer station waste, but even though this is only a tiny amount, it can still cause problems.
CHBDC provides a Hazardous Waste collection service once a year. Hazardous Waste collection (HazMobile) is an opportunity for residents to dispose of household and garden chemicals, used batteries, old gas bottles and other hazardous items safely for FREE.
Our next Hazardous Waste collection will be in 2025. Check back here soon for details.
