Some projects of demolition or renovation leave a lot of waste. If you hired a professional company to deal with it, they will likely get rid of the debris as well. Some people, however, prefer to do the project on their own, and end up with a lot of waste and no idea on what to do with it. What if some of this waste is hazardous? What can you do? It turns out that there are services for disposing of hazardous waste in Vancouver, and you can benefit from them as well.
Identifying the hazardous waste
Some very common materials can be dangerous as a demolition waste. The most common and obvious one is asbestos, which usually requires a specific abatement service to remove it completely and on a safely manner. Another very common hazardous material that may be of concern is lead paint, which also needs to be disposed of properly. Mercury also figures in this list, since it’s very easy to be found in switches and thermostats, for example. The list does not end here, so it’s always a good idea to have an expert’s opinion about this subject.
What to do with hazardous waste in Vancouver
The best way to safely deal with hazardous waste in Vancouver is to hire a professional company to get rid of it. This type of debris cannot be taken to regular landfills due to their toxicity. Because of that, cities usually have a specific code on how the waste needs to be contained, labeled and where it needs to be taken. Permits are often needed to do this type of work, and a good company is one that knows the rules and keeps in touch with the regulatory agencies to ensure that they are abiding to the most recent changes on local rules.
