Safe Disposal of Hazardous Waste
Hazardous waste is defined as any item that is flammable, toxic, corrosive, explosive, or radioactive. Common examples include:
Common examples include
- Most chemicals and paints
- Acids and gas cylinders
- Automotive products
- Household chemicals
- Batteries
Improper disposal of such waste, particularly into roadside rubbish bins, recycling bins, or down drains, poses significant dangers. It can poison marine and freshwater creatures, destroy habitats, and disrupt entire ecosystems.
The safe management of hazardous waste necessitates proper labeling, storage, and handling, all in strict adherence to WorkSafe NZ and Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) guidelines. Only certified professionals should handle such waste, ensuring compliance with the New Zealand Waste List categories. Decon Solutions NZ ensures all hazardous waste is managed and disposed of legally and safely.
Yard Remediation & Soil Contamination
Land can become contaminated through the use, manufacture, storage, disposal, or spillage of hazardous substances, often due to historic practices. This contamination poses ongoing risks to human health and the environment, as contaminants can leach into groundwater or waterways, or be carried by rainwater runoff or dust.
New Zealand’s National Environmental Standard for Assessing and Managing Contaminants in Soil to Protect Human Health (NESCS) provides a nationally consistent framework for identifying, assessing, and, if necessary, remediating or managing contaminated land. The Hazardous Activities and Industries List (HAIL) helps identify sites where soil may be contaminated due to past or present activities.
Our Comprehensive Remediation Process
Decon Solutions NZ possesses the expertise for the safe removal and disposal of contaminated soil, ensuring sites are fit for their intended use or activity. Our process typically involves:
Preliminary Site Investigation (PSI) & Detailed Site Investigation (DSI)
Comprehensive assessments to understand the history and potential contamination of the site.
Soil & Groundwater Sampling
Rigorous sampling and laboratory analysis to accurately identify and quantify contaminants.
Remediation Action Plan Development
Based on findings, a tailored plan is developed, which may include:
- Excavation and removal of contaminated soils.
- Dilution or containment (e.g., 'cap and contain').
- Treatment of contaminants on-site.
- Vertical blending with clean soils.
On-Site Monitoring & Management
Continuous oversight of remediation actions to ensure effectiveness and compliance.
