Disposal of special hazardous waste

Collection, transport and disposal of hazardous waste in Bergamo

Hazardous waste contains a high amount of hazardous pollutants. They must be handled with care in order to reduce or neutralise their inherent danger and toxicity. Their proper management therefore requires a number of precise commitments in terms of collection, transport and disposal by those who produce this type of waste.

Zanetti Arturo offers private companies, public administrations and healthcare companies a complete service in compliance with the law for the collection, removal, transport and disposal of special hazardous waste, i.e. all those special wastes which, by law, require special collection and disposal methods.

What special waste is considered to be hazardous?

All waste is classified according to a set of codes provided by the European Waste Catalogue. Those considered as ‘hazardous waste’ are differentiated from non-hazardous special waste by an asterisk *. Among special hazardous waste, we manage and dispose off:

acids and solvents;
oily waste and spent emulsions;
asbestos and materials with asbestos fibres;
paints and inks;
process water and industrial sludge;
electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE);
chemical waste (e.g. detergents);
spent batteries;
infectious medical waste;
other hazardous waste.

Zanetti Arturo handles all the bureaucratic aspects – from permits to authorisations, from preliminary analyses to certifications – so that the customer does not have to deal with these tasks himself. We will then collect and transport the hazardous waste with our own vehicles to authorised recovery and disposal centres.

We operate in Bergamo, Brescia, the surrounding provinces and throughout Lombardy.
