Hazardous Waste Disposal in Adelaide, FAQs
What counts as hazardous waste?
Anything corrosive, flammable, toxic, reactive or listed as prescribed waste in your state: solvents, acids, paints, oils, batteries, aerosols, contaminated rags and more. If you are unsure, a contractor can classify it, and guessing is the expensive option.
Who is responsible once it leaves my site?
In most states the duty of care follows the waste. Using an unlicensed operator does not transfer the liability, so check the licence and keep the tracking documents.
