Compliant waste management for Inverness's energy, tourism, and life sciences sectors in the Scottish Highlands, regulated by SEPA.
One specialist partner for WEEE, batteries, lamps, solar panels and hazardous waste, with in-house treatment and full Duty of Care paperwork.
Inverness is the capital of the Scottish Highlands, with an economy shaped by tourism, whisky distilling, life sciences research, and growing renewable energy operations. The Inverness Campus life sciences cluster and UHI (University of the Highlands and Islands) generate regulated hazardous waste from aquaculture research, environmental science laboratories, and specialist WEEE from research equipment and data centre infrastructure.
The Highland whisky industry, including major distilleries across Speyside and the wider region, produces regulated waste from distilling processes, copper still maintenance, and bottling operations. Cleaning chemicals, refrigeration systems, and production line WEEE all require licensed specialist handling with full consignment notes.
Inverness's tourism and hospitality sector generates intense seasonal peaks in commercial lighting waste, battery disposal, and end-of-life catering equipment from hotels, restaurants, and visitor attractions serving the Highlands and Loch Ness tourism economy.
Growing solar installations and onshore wind developments across the Highlands create additional specialist waste streams. Under SEPA regulations, Scottish businesses face fines up to £10,000 for waste duty of care breaches. For guidance, see our hazardous waste regulations guide.
We also serve businesses across Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Dundee.
