Engineering and workshop waste
Wolverhampton’s industrial and workshop base makes oils, filters, solvent residues, aerosols, contaminated wipes and spray booth materials particularly relevant waste streams. These materials should not be treated as general waste because they may contain hydrocarbons, metals, paints, thinners or other substances requiring controlled handling. Businesses operating machining, maintenance, fabrication, body repair or plant servicing activities should keep oily wastes separate from chemicals, avoid mixing liquids, and ensure containers are labelled clearly before arranging collection.
