University and research activity
Loughborough University is a defining feature of the town, and the wider area includes research, innovation and technical premises. Such environments may generate specialist waste streams including laboratory chemicals, aerosols, small electrical equipment, contaminated packaging, oils, filters and refrigeration units. Any business or institution arranging disposal should separate incompatible materials, retain product information where available and ensure containers are secure before collection. HazExperts chemical disposal, WEEE, fridge recycling, aerosol disposal and contaminated solids services are relevant to these types of non-domestic waste.
