Waste classification guidelines

When you work with BBN, you’ll have access to an expert team of waste classification professionals. With years of experience under our belts, we’ll help you properly classify your waste to adhere to the four NSW EPA waste classification guidelines:

1. Classifying waste — We’ll help identify if your waste should be classified as ‘special waste’ either on-site or once we’ve tested the material in question in our NATA-accredited lab. Our detailed report will have all the necessary information you need to take the next step.

2. Immobilising waste — BBN will assess whether your waste is appropriate for a landfill in its current form or if it needs to be chemically treated and converted for safe immobilisation. You will receive a report that will correctly label each form of waste.

3. Waste containing radioactive material — In particular hazardous working environments, it is essential that you correctly identify if waste is radioactive. At BBN, we take our work very seriously, so we will let you know how to ensure the safety of your workers and the project site at all times.

4. Acid sulfate soils — Most common in excavation work, it’s vital that you work with a reliable environmental consultancy like BBN to know how to deal with and identify risk areas appropriately.
