Set up by Alexis Almeda (Chief Environmental Health Officer from 1974 to 1994) and Alex Trinidad (Operations Manager for Shell Co. of Gibraltar Limited until 1995), EWMS was established in 1994 in order to adequately and responsibly deal with hazardous waste produced by Government departments and local industries in an environmentally friendly way.
Before EWMS, there were no effective and ecological methods employed locally to dispose of hazardous waste, and much was disposed of as general refuse. Nowadays, due to the ever-growing consciousness of society with regards to environmental conservation as well as the legal obligations placed on industry generally and the policing of these by the Environmental Agency, a large volume of the hazardous waste produced locally is now safely disposed of by us.
EWMS, having recently signed a 20 year contract by the Government of Gibraltar to construct and operate the Clinical Waste Incinerator at Governor’s Cottage. This plant and its operational equipment comply fully with all present and foreseeable EU Requirements.
We are Fully Licensed by the Environmental Agency to Collect, Store and Dispose of hazardous wastes. A full description of wastes currently handled can be found listed below.
