New Zealand’s unique biodiversity and strong primary industries is heavily dependent on effective biosecurity to keep out pests and diseases. WM Technical Services operates several MPI Approved Transitional Facilities for receiving and destroying biosecurity risk goods. Secure biosecurity or quarantine bin options are available to meet Transitional Facility waste needs.
The pathogenic risk of some biohazardous waste is heightened where the items pose a cut or puncture hazard. This is the case with used hypodermic needles, scalpels, and scissors. WM Technical Services provides a wide variety of United Nations approved rigid container options including the preeminent Daniels Sharpsmart technology.
Sometimes hazardous substances find there way into or onto soil. Our Technical Services division are the experts in treatment of soils contaminated with substances such as hydrocarbon or heavy metals to enable disposal in a safe and compliant manner.
Biohazardous waste arising from chemotherapy cancer treatment is known as cytotoxic waste. Steam sterilisation is not applicable to cytotoxic waste, so WM Technical Services facilitates the safe and secure export of this waste stream to Australia for high temperature incineration.
New Zealand roads can unfortunately be the recipient of all sorts of debris and build up over time. WM Technical Services provides an easy and convenient location for roadsweeping trucks to discharge their contents and get back on the road.
Waste Management can facilitate the disposal of sensitive documentation via the Rotoclave® steam sterilisation technology.
