Old town and river setting
Old Amersham lies close to the River Misbourne, so businesses handling oils, chemicals, aerosols, contaminated absorbents or wash-down residues should pay close attention to spill prevention and storage. Interceptor tank cleaning, oil-water separator emptying, contaminated rags disposal and chemical collections can be relevant where premises use yards, parking areas, kitchens, workshops or plant rooms. Clear separation of hazardous waste from general refuse helps reduce the risk of accidental leaks or incompatible materials being stored together.
