Port, marine and workshop wastes
Hartlepool’s dock and marina areas support marine, engineering, maintenance and logistics-related activity. These environments can produce waste oil, oily water, absorbents, contaminated rags, filters, aerosols and chemical residues from routine servicing, repair or cleaning. Interceptor tanks and oil-water separators are also relevant where yards, vehicle movements or wash-down areas are present. Such wastes should be kept separate from general waste and described accurately before collection, especially where oil, fuel, solvent or paint residues are involved.
