Types of Dry Cleaning waste
What waste do
Dry Cleaners produce
Dry cleaning operations generate a diverse array of waste materials, among which hazardous waste constitutes the primary category due to the use of various chemicals and solvents in cleaning processes. Beyond hazardous substances, any waste produced by dry cleaning services is categorised as commercial waste and necessitates proper disposal. This encompasses not just the hazardous chemicals but also non-hazardous items such as cardboard and plastic packaging, all of which are considered part of dry cleaning waste.
According to the Strategy for Hazardous Waste Management in England (2010), principles have been established to guide those involved in handling, managing, and operating hazardous waste. It is imperative that only qualified individuals or entities, such as licensed waste carriers including businesses like Waste King, undertake the disposal of hazardous waste to ensure safety and compliance with regulations.
