Hazardous waste — paints, chemicals, asbestos and similar materials — legally requires a handler with Upper Tier Waste Carrier registration, not just a standard licence. Every handler responding to hazardous waste jobs on Get Waste Away has had this specifically verified before their account is activated for this category.
Hazardous waste generally costs more to dispose of than standard categories, reflecting the extra handling, transport and processing requirements involved — particularly for materials like asbestos. Pricing varies significantly by material type and quantity, so it's worth describing exactly what you have as clearly as possible.

We check each handler's Waste Carrier Licence number against the EA public register before they can respond to a single job, and re-verify monthly. If a licence lapses or is revoked, the account is suspended immediately.
