Illegal Dumping & Hazardous Waste Cleanup – Perth, WA
At Perth Chemical Specialists (PCS), we respond to illegal dumping (fly-tipping) incidents involving chemical, industrial, and hazardous materials across Perth and regional WA.
Whether it’s a suspicious drum left on a roadside, unknown liquids dumped on private land, or legacy containers abandoned near infrastructure, our team provides safe, fast, and compliant removal.
Chemical Dump Identification & Risk Assessment
Fly-tipped materials often include unlabelled substances, old drums, lab waste, industrial chemicals, or even Dangerous Goods. These pose serious risks to health, the environment, and legal compliance. Our licensed chemists and technicians can:
• Identify unknown chemicals on-site or via sample testing
• Assess the material for radiological, corrosive, flammable, or toxic risks
• Secure the site and advise on immediate safety actions
• Classify the material for proper transport and disposal
We work with councils, landowners, construction firms, and facility managers to quickly resolve dumped waste issues before they escalate.
