Port and workshop waste streams
A working port town and regional service centre can include engineering, vehicle maintenance, handling equipment, marine support and general workshop activity. These environments may produce waste oil, oil and fuel filters, aerosols, paint waste, contaminated absorbents, chemical residues and interceptor waste from drainage systems. Such materials should be kept separate from general commercial waste and assessed for hazardous properties before collection. Businesses in Kings Lynn should also consider container condition, labelling and safe storage where waste is held near yards, workshops or surface water drainage.
