What is KGA?

KGA — small hazardous waste — covers hazardous residues produced in small quantities at businesses: from paint and lacquer residues to aerosols, batteries and solvents.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as KGA?

Small hazardous waste such as paint and lacquer residues, aerosols, batteries, solvents, chemical residues and fluorescent tubes.

How is KGA collected safely?

In the right, approved packaging, separated per stream and transported ADR-authorised, with audit-proof documentation.

What is the difference between KGA and KCA?

KGA is small hazardous waste from businesses; KCA is small chemical waste from households. See our knowledge-base article for the details.

Do I receive documentation when KGA is disposed of?

Yes. With every collection you receive the correct accompanying waste note (begeleidingsbrief), so the chain is demonstrable and audit-proof.

Does IAM supply packaging for KGA?

Yes. We supply UN-approved packaging and collection drums suited to the waste, so KGA is stored and transported safely from the start.
