As part of the service, Veolia will offer small businesses a range of options to segregate hazardous waste such as aerosols, batteries, light bulbs and paints.
Once collected, the materials are delivered to one of Veolia’s licensed facilities where the items undergo further checks prior to treatment, disposal or recycling.
