PCB Contaminated Materials

RILTA Environmental has extensive experience in the management of PCB contaminated materials such as oil filled transformers and capacitors to soil contaminated with PCB.

Working with our European partners, RILTA can provide cost effective solutions for the management of all wastes containing PCB.

The management of PCB is covered under National Waste Management (Hazardous Waste Regulations, 1998, SI No. 163 of 1998) and European Legislation (Directive 96/59/EC. SI No. 163 of 1998). These specify that all known PCB holdings with a concentration greater than 0.05% by weight must be decontaminated or disposed of before the end of 2010.
