Container Disposal

Lost shipping containers pose a significant hazard to our oceans and coastlines. According to industry estimates, a substantial number of containers are lost at sea each year, with some sources suggesting as many as 10,000 containers annually. These wayward containers can drift for extended periods, and occasionally, they wash up on our coastlines, requiring prompt and responsible removal. If you are responsible for the removal of a shipping container in your local authority, Container Disposal is here to assist you with the safe removal and proper disposal of these containers.

The Impact of Lost Shipping Containers

Lost shipping containers pose several hazards to marine ecosystems and coastal communities. These containers can contain a wide range of cargo, including hazardous materials, which can leak or spill into the water, polluting the marine environment and endangering marine life. Additionally, the physical presence of these containers can pose risks to navigation, potentially causing accidents and damage to ships, marine infrastructure, and coastal areas.
