Asbestos Removal (Click to expand)

Asbestos removal requires specialist expertise and equipment and should only be carried out by highly trained and monitored operatives. According to the Health & Safety Executive, asbestos is the greatest single cause of work related deaths in the UK. The material was used in hundreds of different products and buildings from the 1950s to the mid 1980s. Asbestos cement was still commonly in use up until 1999. Any commercial or industrial building or site that was constructed or in use between the 1950s and mid 1990s is therefore likely to contain asbestos of some kind. SecureSiteUK and its partners have a wealth of knowledge and experience in asbestos removal and disposal.

Chemical Removal (Click to expand)

The Hazardous Waste Regulations and Landfill Directive have had a tremendous impact on the management and disposal of hazardous and chemical wastes. Many new materials were classed as hazardous waste in the European Waste Catalogue (EWC) and changes in licensing and more stringent Waste Acceptance Criteria have restricted the number of sites able to process certain types of hazardous, chemical or toxic waste. SecureSiteUK and its specialist partners can offer an environmentally friendly and cost effective site decontamination service that includes waste collection and disposal for hazardous chemical waste such as pesticides, laboratory chemicals, industrial chemicals, spillages, tank cleaning and related contaminated materials. We can select the most appropriate disposal route for your waste – landfill, incineration, treatment or recovery – ensuring all documentation and licensing is in place.

Abandoned Vehicle Removal (Click to expand)

If your site has been vacant for some months or if the perimeter security fencing has been compromised it can becomes a magnet for abandoned and burnt out vehicles. These are not only unsightly but can also pose a risk to the public, especially if children have access to the site, for which you are liable. Abandoned vehicles can also attract crime and further vandalism by advertising the fact that the site is unoccupied. Similarly, abandoned or burnt out vehicles can become an eyesore and encourage crime if left on public roads or adjacent to private properties.

Oil wastes and wastes of liquid fuels (except edible oils) are now regarded as “hazardous” as defined by the European Waste Catalogue (EWC) which classifies waste materials according to what they are and how they were produced. SecureSiteUK offers an effective collection, removal and disposal service for all volumes and types of waste mineral oil and fuel oils that may be contaminating a site. Waste oil collection vehicles can transfer the unwanted oil to transfer stations and processing facilities. SecureSiteUK and its specialist partners will not only clear and clean the site efficiently, but will also handle all the necessary paperwork to provide a straightforward and cost-effective oil removal service.

Green Waste Removal (Click to expand)

If a site has been abandoned or left empty for several months, it’s likely that nature will have begun to encroach on the property and existing hedges, trees or other vegetation may be getting out of control. Aside from the physical inconvenience, green waste accumulating on your site can also be a possible health concern, providing a breeding ground for rats and other vermin as well as providing a warm, moist environment for microbes that can be transmitted as bio-aerosols. It’s also like that your vacant site may contain Japanese Knotweed (Fallopia Japonica), one of the most invasive plants in the UK, that’s spread by mechanical means such as fly tipping as well as animal and airborne transmission. So severe is the problem that it’s a criminal offence to plant or cause Japanese Knotweed to grow, and the plant must be disposed of as controlled waste. SecureSiteUK and its partners have a wealth of knowledge and experience in green waste removal and it safe disposal.
