Bespoke Waste Management Solutions
Regulated to the Highest Standards
Fast Offloading Times
Here at Earlsgate, we take hazardous waste extremely seriously and handle the hassle and complexities, so you don’t have to.
Whether it’s bulk liquid from a tank, a routine collection of packaged waste, or drums of oil and solvent, our solutions are tailored to enhance operational efficiency and ensure regulatory compliance.
Our team of on-site chemists can analyse samples in modern laboratories, removing uncertainties and safeguarding compliance. We work closely with our customers to understand unique challenges and provide strategic support that simplifies operations while strengthening sustainability efforts.
Our Services
Secure Destruction & Treatment
Our large secure site allows us to collect, treat and dispose of products or waste in bulk, palletised or finished form. We prevent inferior or off‑spec products from reaching the market by fully removing associated packaging for recycling and disposing of the waste itself. Customers receive certification of secure destruction for complete assurance.
Packaging Sales & Cleaning
We supply both new and reconditioned UN‑approved drums and IBCs, tested thoroughly to meet industry standards. Our inventory includes PE and steel drums in all sizes, new IBCs, hazardous waste labels, and vermiculite for safe packaging. Customers benefit from cost-effective reconditioned packaging or the assurance of brand‑new certified containers.
Waste Sampling & Analytical Services
Our modern labs carry out daily sampling and advanced analysis. We follow strict protocols to assess treatability and also provide specialist testing for customers and waste handlers. For routine clear-outs, our team offers waste listing, packaging and disposal quotations, ensuring compliance and safe transport.
Waste Auditing & Minimisation
Our free waste audits highlight potential cost savings while keeping you up to date on evolving legislation and new technologies. With upcoming changes such as EPR, DRS, ETS, landfill bans and digital waste tracking, our expertise helps you navigate compliance and even transform waste streams into new revenue sources.
Waste Collection & Brokerage
Our new hazardous waste transfer station operates year-round with 24‑hour on-site security. It accepts all wastes except medical and radioactive, offering both outdoor and covered bulking, treatment and storage facilities. With over 75 years of combined team experience and a trusted network of partners, we ensure compliant and safe waste disposal, even for materials we cannot treat in‑house.
Industrial Services, Shutdowns & De-Commissioning
Located in Scotland’s industrial heartland, Grangemouth, we partner with customers during shutdowns and decommissioning projects. From planning to execution, we align with timelines and budgets, offering chemist and laboratory support for urgent or routine sampling—because in this industry, time really is money.
Chemical & Toll Manufacturing Waste
With decades of experience, our aerobic effluent treatment plant efficiently processes complex chemical and pharmaceutical effluents. We serve a wide range of sectors, supporting both direct manufacturers and 3rd party waste companies in their pursuit of compliance and sustainability.
Oil, Gas & Offshore Waste
The oil and gas sector demands compliance and speed. We are recognised leaders, receiving waste from across the UK thanks to our rapid deployment and reliable service. We also support aquaculture, taking part in innovative projects for sustainable fish farm waste treatment.
Marine & Offshore Waste Treatment
Proximity to the Port of Grangemouth enables rapid road‑tanker receipt and conditioning of vessel and offshore aqueous wastes. This ensures fast turnaround with strict adherence to regulatory controls.
Food & Manufacturing Waste Treatment
Our capability to accept and treat waste continuously ensures peace of mind. Whether it’s process water, whey permeate, or an off-spec batch that must be withdrawn, we guarantee fast and professional handling.
Distillery & Brewing Waste
We handle a wide range of waste from the brewing and distilling industry and, unlike the AD sector’s “Feast or Famine” cycle, we provide a stable year-round solution.
Waste is collected, treated and disposed of 24/7, 365 days a year.
