PFAS Liquid Waste Collection & Disposal Service

At A Better Service (ABS), we specialise in vehicle wash bay wastewater tank emptying for all types of commercial and industrial sites.

We know that it is important to keep your wash bay tanks, interceptors, and catch pits clear functioning properly. Regular maintenance prevents blockages, protects the environment, and ensures your site remains fully compliant with waste management regulations.

A Better Service provide compliant PFAS Liquid Waste Collection and Disposal

A Better Service provides a dedicated PFAS collection and disposal solution for businesses that need a safe, fully compliant way to manage liquid perfluoroalkyl sulfonic acids (PFASs) and associated PFAS-containing waste streams.

These substances sit within a tightly regulated framework and navigating that landscape requires experience and technical understanding. Our team manages the entire process on your behalf, from initial sampling and laboratory analysis through to authorised high-temperature incineration and final certification.

As an authorised waste disposal provider, we offer a dependable, transparent and fully traceable service for liquid hazardous wastes, ensuring every stage meets UK environmental legislation and duty of care requirements.

Managing Liquid PFAS Waste Safely

Liquid PFASs are typically found in aqueous mixtures, industrial effluent streams and older firefighting foam stock. Because of their persistence in the environment and classification under UK environmental controls, they must be handled, transported and destroyed using approved methods.

Our comprehensive service covers:

  • Secure collection of PFAS and PFAS-containing liquids

  • Supply of UN-approved drums and IBC containers where required

  • Transport to authorised high-temperature incineration facilities

  • Complete documentation and disposal certification

We focus solely on compliant destruction through incineration, ensuring concentrated liquid waste is treated in line with current regulatory standards.

Supporting a Range of Industrial Sectors

A Better Service works with organisations across multiple industries where PFAS-containing liquids may arise, including:

  • Metal finishing and electroplating operations

  • Electronics and semiconductor production

  • Chemical manufacturing and formulation facilities

  • Textile processing and specialist coatings manufacturers

  • Wastewater treatment operators and environmental remediation contractors

If your processes generate PFAS-based liquid waste, we will advise on the correct and lawful route for removal and destruction, providing clear guidance at every stage.

Sampling, Analysis and Regulatory Classification

Accurate waste classification is essential before any liquid hazardous material leaves site.

Our technical team can arrange:

  • On-site sampling of suspect or known PFAS waste streams

  • Accredited laboratory testing to establish PFAS presence and concentration

  • Waste classification in line with List of Waste (LoW) codes

  • Component assessment and regulatory identification

  • Pre-acceptance documentation for incineration facilities

We provide clear technical reporting, so you understand precisely how your waste has been categorised and the compliance basis behind it.

High-Temperature Incineration as the Preferred Route

Due to their environmental persistence and regulation under the UK Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) regime, concentrated PFAS liquids require destruction rather than containment.

All PFAS collection and disposal services delivered by A Better Service are directed exclusively to authorised high-temperature incineration facilities.

This approach ensures:

  • Effective destruction of chemical constituents

  • Compliance with current UK environmental legislation

  • Reduced long-term liability exposure

  • Secure, fully traceable waste management

We do not use general landfill routes for concentrated liquid PFAS materials. Our priority is responsible, compliant destruction.

Complete Documentation and Duty of Care

Every movement of waste is recorded and supported with the appropriate paperwork.

As part of our fully managed service, we provide:

Our technical team can arrange:

  • Hazardous Waste Consignment Notes

  • Confirmation of acceptance by the receiving facility

  • Certificate of Disposal following incineration

This documentation offers regulatory assurance and peace of mind that your obligations have been met in full.
