PCB Hazardous Waste (or Polychloinated biphenyls) are collections of active man-made chemicals that, due to their acrimonious disposal policies, prove a difficult to get rid of. These Items can include;

• Electrical transformers
• Power capacitors
• Other electrical equipment including voltage regulators, switches, reclosers, bushings, and electromagnets
• Heat transfer equipment
• Oil used in motors and high temperature hydraulic systems

• Old electrical devices or appliances containing PCB capacitors
• Fluorescent light ballasts
• Hospital diagnostic equipment
• Cable insulation
• Thermal insulation material including fibreglass, felt, foam, and cork
• Adhesives and tapes
• Oil-based paint
• Caulking
• Plastics
• Carbonless copy paper
• Floor finish

As you can appreciate, these items pose a violent threat to the environment and human health and legal legislation states that these items must be monitored closely in their movement, transfer and destruction. Failure to adhere to these laws can result in heavy fines. Due to this sanctioning it has become something in which the team at Mytum & Selby take incredibly seriously.
