Hazardous Waste Management for the Electrical Sector
Simply Waste Consultants provides specialist hazardous waste solutions for electrical contractors, equipment recyclers, and electronics manufacturers across England, Scotland, and Wales. Electrical waste spans mercury-bearing lamps, batteries, and oil-filled equipment—we ensure every stream is classified, documented, and disposed of in full compliance.
Electrical Waste Streams We Handle
Electrical operations generate waste with significant hazard properties requiring careful handling. Our service covers:
Fluorescent tubes and discharge lamps (mercury)
Lead-acid and lithium batteries
PCB-containing capacitors and transformers
Transformer and switchgear oils
Electrical cabling and components
WEEE and end-of-life equipment
Contaminated packaging and absorbents
Classification and Compliance Support
Electrical waste classification hinges on identifying hazardous components—mercury, PCBs, and heavy metals all trigger specific controls. Misidentifying a lamp, battery, or oil-filled unit can delay collections and breach permits. Our experienced team list and classify each waste stream accurately, ensuring correct coding and segregation.
We manage all regulatory requirements including:
Hazardous Waste Consignment Notes
EWC and HP code assignment
WEEE evidence and documentation
UN packaging and labelling
Notifications to Environment Agency, SEPA, and NRW
Collection and Transport
We arrange nationwide collection through our network of licensed, ADR-compliant hauliers, with containers suited to lamps, batteries, and oil-filled equipment. Collections operate across England, Scotland, and Wales on schedules that match your project and maintenance cycles.
Our collection capability ranges from single drum uplifts to full articulated loads. We handle individual 205-litre drums, intermediate bulk containers (IBCs), and palletised waste, plus multi-pallet collections up to 24 pallets per load. Bulk tanker services are available for transformer and insulating oils.
We supply dedicated containers including lamp tubes, battery boxes, and oil drum stores, with regular scheduled or ad-hoc uplifts to suit ongoing works and site clearances.
