What is hazardous waste?Hazardous waste, also known as regulated (QLD) or prescribed industrial waste (VIC), includes any material that can cause harm to human health or the environment. These substances are usually flammable, toxic, corrosive, or reactive.
Mechanical workshops handle various hazardous materials that are essential to their daily operations. However, they pose significant environmental and safety risks if not disposed of properly.

How Does Waste Collection Work?
Did you know that it’s illegal to pour hazardous chemicals and waste down sinks, gutters, or drains? Instead, these materials must be stored in secure, leak-proof containers and collected by an EPA-approved company. Depending on your location and industry, the exact specifications of your waste bins and disposal methods may vary.
Ace Waste leads the charge in facilitating proper collection and disposal in QLD and VIC, following best practices at every turn. We ensure certified destruction through advanced incineration processes (where possible) or other approved methods. Here’s how it works:
