Why Decontaminate Hazardous Waste Aggregate?

Hazardous aggregate is a common waste type in the water industry that is usually disposed of at secure landfill facilities. However, this process is expensive, not particularly environmentally friendly and doesn’t actually deal with the hazardous nature of the material. 

Instead of hiding hazardous aggregate away in landfill, a better option is to decontaminate the material with a fully compliant washing process. Washing aggregate is often a much better use of resources which is significantly more environmentally friendly and more cost-effective too. 

So why do so few companies know that this technology exists? 

One of the major problems within the waste management industry is that waste managers are motivated to use more expensive waste disposal routes because they use a cost-plus model to charge their clients. In essence, it is more profitable for these waste managers to encourage the most expensive route, regardless of whether it is the best route or not. 

At WasteSURE, we use fixed-cost pricing and prioritise compliant, environmentally friendly solutions. We don’t simply accept that the most expensive option is the only option, we use our flair for innovative solutions to work out what the best solution is on a case by case basis. In fact, we believe that pre-treatment is so important that we will insist on it where viable.

That’s why we want to tell you about decontaminating aggregate – we know it’s the best solution for the water industry and for the environment.
