Industrial & Universal Waste Services

Identification, packaging, manifesting and disposal of regulated waste streams generated on site.

Every remediation and demolition project generates waste, and the disposal paperwork outlives everything else about the job. Universal waste — lamps, ballasts, batteries, mercury devices — plus the hazardous and non-hazardous streams a building or plant holds, all have to be characterised correctly, packaged correctly and manifested to a permitted facility.

Scope of work

  1. 01

    Inventory

    Walk the site and inventory what is there, including the drums and containers nobody has opened in a decade.

  2. 02

    Characterise

    Determine the correct waste code by knowledge of process or by analysis. Getting this wrong is the expensive kind of mistake.

  3. 03

    Package and label

    Lab-pack, drum, palletise and label to DOT requirements for the shipping mode.

  4. 04

    Manifest and transport

    Ship to a permitted treatment, storage or disposal facility with the manifest chain intact.

  5. 05

    Documentation

    Return the complete disposal record to the generator, since generator liability does not transfer with the truck.

The regulations that govern it

General guidance on the standards that apply to this kind of work. Requirements vary by jurisdiction and by project — confirm the specifics for yours before you rely on them.

  • RCRA (40 CFR 260–279) sets generator status, accumulation limits and manifesting.
  • Universal waste is handled under 40 CFR Part 273.
  • DOT 49 CFR governs packaging, labelling and shipping papers.
  • Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland and Delaware each administer their own authorised programs on top of the federal rules.

Have a scope? We'll price it.

Send drawings, an inspection report or a description of the problem. If you already have an assessment we can usually turn an estimate around from it directly.
