Hazardous waste is defined as any waste product that can cause harm to humans or the environment either by immediate contact or over a period of time from continued exposure. It is a legal requirement for any company in the UK producing a hazardous waste stream to have it disposed of by a registered and licensed waste disposal company. Characteristic hazardous wastes are materials that are known or tested to exhibit traits such as: Reactive, Corrosive, Toxic or Flammable.
