Agrochemical
Hazardous Waste Management for the Agrochemical Sector
Simply Waste Consultants provides compliant hazardous waste disposal for agrochemical manufacturers, formulators, and test facilities across England, Scotland, and Wales. Active ingredients, contaminated packaging, and process residues all require specialist handling—we ensure your agrochemical waste is managed safely and legally from start to finish.
Agrochemical Waste Streams We Handle
Agrochemical waste carries significant environmental sensitivity. Our service is designed to handle the full range of materials generated by crop protection manufacturing and development:
Pesticide and herbicide residues
Off-specification formulations
Contaminated packaging (drums, IBCs, containers)
Rinse waters and cleaning solutions
Laboratory analytical samples
Expired or recalled products
Process equipment wash-downs
Classification and Compliance Support
Agrochemical waste must be classified accurately under both Hazardous Waste Regulations and Environmental Permitting requirements. Errors can result in enforcement action and environmental incidents. Our experienced team list and classify each waste stream accurately, maintaining compliance throughout.
We manage all compliance documentation including:
Hazardous Waste Consignment Notes
Regulatory notifications to Environment Agency, SEPA, and NRW
EWC and HP code determination
Transport classification (UN numbers, packing groups)
Site-specific permit compliance
Collection and Transport
We coordinate specialist collection services through our network of licensed hauliers, including bulk tankers, ISO tanks, and emergency response capabilities. Our haulier network operates nationwide across England, Scotland, and Wales with experience in high-hazard petrochemical environments.
Our collection capability ranges from single drum uplifts to full articulated loads. We handle small-scale collections of individual 205-litre drums, intermediate bulk containers (IBCs), and palletised waste. For larger volumes, we arrange multi-pallet collections up to 24 pallets per load, plus bulk tanker services up to 29,000 litres for hydrocarbon slops, tank washings, and liquid process waste. Our specialist haulier network includes vacuum tankers, heated tankers for viscous materials, and ISO tank containers for international waste shipments. Emergency response capabilities support unplanned shutdowns, process upsets, and maintenance emergencies requiring immediate large-scale waste removal.
