EnglishWhat Is New Waste Solutions and What Does the Company Do?
Updated
New Waste Solutions is a UK-wide specialist in chemical and hazardous waste collection and disposal. It identifies, sorts, packs, transports and disposes of waste for organisations that generate chemical waste — laboratories, industrial sites, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, schools, universities, colleges and emergency services. The company is staffed by chemists with laboratory, industrial and forensic chemistry experience, and its stated aim is to prevent, reduce, re-use, recycle or recover chemical waste wherever possible, treating disposal as a last resort.
What services does New Waste Solutions provide?
The company handles hazardous waste end to end rather than only collecting it. According to its website, the service covers:
- Identification and sorting of unknown or mixed chemical waste
- Packing to transport standards
- Transport via an ADR fleet operating across the United Kingdom
- Disposal of the waste once treated
The waste streams it lists include lab smalls, industrial chemicals, pharmaceuticals, paints, aerosols, scene-of-crime chemicals, sharps and medical waste. The phrase "lab smalls" refers to the small containers of leftover or unidentified chemicals typically accumulated in laboratories — a category that is often awkward to dispose of because contents may be unknown or mixed.
Who is it for?
| Sector | Typical waste |
|---|---|
| Schools, universities and colleges | Lab smalls, teaching chemicals |
| Hospitals and medical settings | Medical waste, sharps, pharmaceuticals |
| Pharmaceutical companies | Industrial chemicals, pharmaceutical waste |
| Industrial laboratories | Process and industrial chemicals |
| Emergency services | Scene-of-crime chemicals |
If your organisation holds chemical waste it cannot identify, pack or move itself, this is the kind of service that applies. The company also positions itself as a first point of contact for questions: its site invites you to phone and speak to a chemist, and says that if it cannot help, it will point you to someone who can.
What experience does the company have?
The website cites case studies including work on the Novichok incident in Salisbury, identifying and packing over 6,000 lab smalls from a single laboratory, and the safe removal of drug-making ingredients from scenes of crime. It also states that it will soon open the first UK facility dedicated to recovering lab smalls chemical waste — a claim about a future facility, not a current one.
How to contact or use the service
Two offices are listed:
- Northern Office: +44 (0) 1246 690 013
- Southern Office: +44 (0) 1227 280 777
For an urgent enquiry, the site directs you to call its waste disposal experts. The website also offers downloadable resources, blogs and FAQs for organisations that produce chemical waste, which are worth checking before you call if you want to understand your obligations first.
What the site does not tell you
The website does not publish pricing, contract terms or lead times, so cost and scheduling need to be confirmed directly with the company. It also does not specify which individual waste codes or quantities it accepts in every case — for a specific waste stream, the practical step is to describe what you hold and let its chemists confirm whether they can take it.
