Frequently Asked Questions

Which regions do you collect from?

We are based in Osmaniye, right beside the İskenderun iron and steel basin. Our weekly route covers İskenderun, Hatay, Gaziantep and Kahramanmaraş, with Adana and Mersin as regular stops, and we come out for small jobs there too. Elsewhere it is volume rather than distance that decides: once enough tonnage builds up, or we can group several businesses from the same region into one day, we send a vehicle to any province in Türkiye.

How do I know whether my waste is hazardous?

Codes marked with an asterisk in the waste list denote hazardous waste. Some wastes have a “mirror entry” pair, where the applicable code depends on the content; in that case a sample must be taken and analysed. We provide a free initial assessment for streams you are unsure about.

Do you pay me for my waste, or do I pay you?

Either is possible; what decides is whether the waste is recoverable. Segregated plastic, metal, cardboard and waste mineral oil in a suitable grade are paid for. Hazardous waste and non-recoverable streams carry a disposal charge. Mixed waste is the most expensive option in both cases.

Which documents do I receive after a shipment?

You receive your copy of the official waste transport form at collection, the weighbridge ticket and weighed delivery note on intake, and the recovery or disposal certificate once processing is complete. These documents are the basis of your annual declaration and audit file.

What is the minimum volume you will collect?

There is no fixed minimum; distance and waste type decide. If you are in an area already on our schedule we will come for a few drums. For remote locations and small volumes we combine the visit with neighbouring businesses on the same day, or extend the accumulation period.

What happens if antifreeze gets into the waste oil drum?

The oil’s refinability drops and the batch usually cannot enter base oil recovery; it has to be routed to energy recovery instead. That wipes out both the environmental benefit and the payment you would have received. Drums should therefore be labelled and different liquids collected separately.

Am I required to hold a Zero Waste certificate?

Public institutions, workplaces above a certain headcount, shopping centres, hotels, hospitals, educational institutions and residential complexes above a certain size are in scope. Others may join voluntarily — increasingly requested from exporters and companies serving corporate clients.

Can you prepare my annual waste declaration?

Yes. If we collect your waste, the data already accumulates in the shipment records and the declaration is built from it. If you also work with other companies, we gather their documents into the same table and chase what is missing.

Do you supply the equipment — containers, drums, big bags?

Yes. Bins, cages, containers, labelled drums or big bags are left at your site as needed. For small-volume waste oil we swap full drums for empty ones. The equipment plan is agreed together during the site visit.

What do I need to send to get a quote?

Waste type, estimated monthly volume, how it is stored (drums, big bags, bulk) and your site location are enough to start. If you have the waste code and a previous analysis report, add them — it speeds things up. For unclear streams we price after sampling and analysis.

TELL US ABOUT YOUR WASTE — WE WILL PUT THE SOLUTION IN WRITING.

The waste type and a rough volume are enough to start. If needed we take a sample and come to see your site.
