Oxidising agents and reactive chemicals
Expired, surplus, and unwanted reagents and stock chemicals

Mixed and co-mingled lab waste streams requiring segregation and classification
All collections are completed by licensed professionals using approved containers, manifests, and transport procedures.
Compliance with WA Regulations for Laboratory Waste
PCS is fully licensed under the Dangerous Goods Safety Act and Department of Water and Environmental Regulation requirements for the collection, transport, and disposal of laboratory chemical waste in WA.
Laboratory chemical waste that is classified as hazardous or controlled cannot be disposed of through general waste — it requires a licensed contractor, approved containers, controlled waste manifests, and disposal at a licensed facility.
Unknown and Unlabelled Lab Chemical Identification — Perth & WA
One of the most common challenges in laboratory cleanouts is unknown or unlabelled chemicals — legacy stock, unmarked containers, and inherited lab waste that can't be disposed of without first being identified and classified.
PCS operates a mobile identification laboratory and can attend your site to test, identify, and classify unknown chemicals before arranging compliant disposal. This removes the risk of misclassifying hazardous material and ensures every container is handled and disposed of correctly.
This service is regularly used by universities, research facilities, schools, and industrial sites undertaking lab cleanouts, decommissioning projects, and routine waste audits.
