WHAT IS HAZARDOUS WASTE?

This kind of waste might threaten public health by being accumulated in the environment. Hazardous waste might result from construction, renovation, demolition and other activities. Our team has the equipment and know-how to handle various hazardous waste.
HOW IS HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGED?
There are countless kinds of hazardous waste, which is why there are various techniques to discard it. Generally, you should be aware that the waste that you're dealing with may be toxic.

WHY SHOULD YOU OPT FOR HAZARDOUS WASTE RECYCLING?
Some hazardous waste materials can be recycled or reused in certain ways. Recycling hazardous waste not only helps avoid environmental hazards but also has the following benefits:
-
Reduced consumption of raw materials: Hazardous waste recycling plays a pivotal role in conserving valuable natural resources. By reclaiming and repurposing materials from hazardous waste streams, there is a significant reduction in the need for fresh raw materials.
-
Reduced pollution: One of the primary advantages of hazardous waste recycling is the substantial reduction in pollution levels. Hazardous materials can severely threaten ecosystems and public health if not properly managed.
-
Reduced energy usage: Recycling hazardous waste consumes less energy than raw material extraction and processing. By incorporating sustainable practices, Western Thermal & Demolition minimizes the energy footprint associated with hazardous waste management.
-
Reduced landfill waste: If not properly managed, hazardous waste can end up in landfills, posing long-term environmental risks. Opting for hazardous waste recycling with us ensures that a major portion of waste is diverted from landfills.
