HAZARDOUS WASTE

Hazardous Waste

Rubbles offers a comprehensive solution to the identification, removal, sorting and disposal of a wide range of hazardous and COSHH waste.

There are 3 stages to hazardous waste removal

1 Identification

We are able to carry out site / project audits, to identify hazardous materials and can provide a strategy on how to process this type of waste to ensure legislative compliance. Where required, we also have available an independent group of chemists to classify unspecified wastes.

2 Removal

We appreciate the urgency of removing hazardous waste from your site so that it doesn’t compromise health and safety of your staff. Because of this we have a team of hazardous waste collection vehicles operated by ADR trained drivers to enable a speedy recovery of waste.

3 Sorting

Our licenced transfer station in Hemel Hempstead, processes a wide range of hazardous waste. Here we operate secure on-site hazardous and COSHH waste storage facilities for onwards recovery / disposal.

TYPES OF ASBESTOS

We offer collection or disposal routes for all types of asbestos:

 • Asbestos soils

 • Chrysotile (white asbestos which is regularly used in the roofs, ceilings, walls)

 • Amosite (brown asbestos which was used most frequently in cement sheets and pipe insulation)

 • Crocidolite (blue asbestos which was commonly used to insulate steam engines)


We can offer a range of well-maintained sealed asbestos containers, skips and vans which enables us to collect and dispose your asbestos waste effectively.


Only cement-bonded asbestos is acceptable into site and all items must be bagged, or wrapped if larger pieces, so as to prevent any dust release.

Fibrous/blue asbestos and brown aib asbestos are not permitted for disposal at our sites although our hazardous waste team can arrange alternative routes.


All asbestos bookings for direct tipping must be pre-booked with the hazardous waste team with 24 hours’ notice.
