PCB Transformers and Capacitor Disposal

For any business dealing with modern technology there is always the issue of what to with the waste. The safe disposal of electrical and electronic items can prove difficult to manage, especially in a busy environment where staff are focused on getting the job done and making the company a success. But with strict electrical waste legislation in place it is vital that business owners give waste disposal the attention it deserves.

PCB officially known as Polychlorinated Biphenyls was first introduced as an insulating oil and was widely used in the manufacture of capacitors and transformers through the 1950s and most recently in the UK up to 1978. PCB capacitors were effectively banned at the end of 2002 although finds still occur which warrant immediate specialist disposal.

There is very stringent legal legislation covering the movement and disposal of PCB which must be adhered to in order to avoid prosecution. For this reason it is essential for anyone with PCB waste to make sure that they deal with a waste disposal company who fully understand the legislation, and also have the facilities to dispose of the waster safely and legally.
