dustrial Services

 Businesses specializing in industrial services need to use strict disposal systems and
cleanup measures as mandated by governmental regulations.
 These industries should have a reliable hazardous waste disposal company to
effectively handle unprecedented spills and leakages with the help of emergency spill
cleanup and containment berms.
 The waste disposal company should also be able to perform operations such as tank
and pit cleaning, landfill leachate treatment, waste disposal and many other industrial
waste services efficiently.

Utilities

 The utility industry typically generates nuclear and radioactive waste, along with
mercury processing. These hazardous substances can be extremely dangerous and
need to be handled with great care by waste management companies under EPA and
OSHA regulations and guidelines.
 For the utility business, a hazardous waste disposal company should have the right
technology and equipment to efficiently process any size container or tank, as well as
transport, prepare and dispose of these hazardous wastes.
Laboratories

 Laboratories generate an abundance of hazardous solvents and reagents that need to


be properly disposed of to prevent the risk of environmental contamination.
 Hazardous substances from laboratories are disposed of in the form of lab packs.
During this process, waste management professionals are required to abide by
certain federal standards and regulations.
Spills

 Accidental oil and chemical spills require a waste management company that can
quickly, safely and thoroughly clean up the hazardous wastes while minimizing the
effect on the water bodies and ecosystems.
Retail

 The retail industry including businesses such as electronics, cannabis, tobacco, e-


liquid, cosmetics, pesticides and firework stores generates hazardous wastes. These
wastes cannot be disposed of in the local landfill and need professional hazardous
waste disposal resources.
 Retail stores also have expired products that are considered hazardous and need to
be properly disposed of in order to prevent them from being sold in the market.
Conclusion
Hazardous waste is an environmental emergency and can cause complications to industries and
businesses legally. To ensure the safety of lives and the environment, governments and agencies
such as the US Department of Transportation (US DOT) and the EPA have set strict guidelines,
standards and regulations to efficiently identify, manage, transport and recycle/dispose hazardous
waste.

Industries should keep records of waste generation and testing, report any unprecedented events,
be prepared to handle emergencies with trained professionals, and have reliable hazardous waste
storage options such as tanks and containers.
