Port and transport activity
Hull’s dock and Humber-side setting means there are many businesses connected with transport, storage, engineering, marine support and vehicle maintenance. These environments can generate waste oil, fuel and oil filters, contaminated wipes, aerosols, tyres, interceptor residues and oily water. Such wastes should not be treated as ordinary commercial rubbish, as they may be flammable, oil-contaminated or environmentally harmful. Businesses operating near dock roads, depots or vehicle yards should keep waste streams separated, labelled and accessible for safe collection.
