Waste Classification Services
Our Focus
Hunter Geotechnical Services offers professional waste classification services, ensuring safe disposal and compliance with NSW regulations for various types of waste materials.
When excavated material does not meet the criteria for VENM or ENM, it is classified as waste and must be handled accordingly. Waste can be categorised into General Solid Waste (non-putrescible), Restricted Solid Waste, and Hazardous Waste, depending on the level of contamination. Proper classification is essential to comply with the NSW Waste Classification Guidelines 2014 and to determine the appropriate disposal or treatment methods.
Hunter Geotechnical Services offers comprehensive Waste Classification services, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards and providing a clear path for the safe disposal or reuse of materials.
