We help you manage and dispose of these materials safely. Our services ensure you follow the Hazardous Waste Regulations 2005. 

Proper handling and disposal can prevent costly fines and legal issues. We work closely with you to make sure every step is done professionally. This includes collection and final disposal. We aim to give you complete peace of mind.

Our team stays updated with the latest UK and European legislation, ensuring that your waste management process is always compliant.

WEEE Waste Management

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) like fridges, freezers, and televisions requires specific disposal procedures. Mixing WEEE with other waste can lead to legal complications and environmental hazards. A.R.

Our Total Waste Management solution covers everything from waste audits to the implementation of efficient waste handling processes. We aim to minimise disruption to your operations while ensuring that all hazardous materials are managed responsibly. Whether you are a small workshop or a large factory, we can tailor our services to match your specific needs.

Richards provide comprehensive Asbestos Removal Services across Market Drayton, Crewe, Oswestry, Shrewsbury, and Whitchurch. We handle everything, from initial site surveys to safe removal and disposal. 

For smaller quantities, we offer options like hire skips or specialist Depot FIC bags. Unsure if your site contains asbestos?
