Efficiently collect bulk and packaged liquid and hazardous waste with our fleet team, transporting it to fully consented treatment plants across New Zealand.
Where substances are not able to be recycled or disposed of in New Zealand they are known as Intractable. These intractable products include Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs), Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs), some pesticides, halogenated solvents, and Poly- & Per- Fluorinated Alkyl Substances (PFAS) firefighting foams. The substances are packed and shipped to our disposal partners in Australia and Europe. These facilities undertake the high temperature incineration of these products. WM Technical Services is the industry expert in hazardous waste export which is governed closely by the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) and Basel & Stockholm Conventions.
Our Technical Service division are the experts in handling hazardous substances including packaged chemical wastes. These packages may range from small jars all the way up to 200L drums or 1,000L intermediate bulk containers (IBCs). You can be confident in WM Technical Services to handle your chemical wastes. Our professional chemist team always ensure that flammables, oxidising substances, organic peroxides, toxics, corrosives and ecotoxics are treated in a safe and compliant way.
