The following is a list of on-site lab pack and waste management operations provided:

Waste Classification – Each container and its contents is evaluated in accordance with guidelines set by the EPA, DOT and State regulatory agencies. Each outer container is given an identification number, reference to land disposal restriction notifications (LDR), DOT hazard class and identification numbers, and applicable federal and state hazardous waste codes. This information is made part of the waste tracking system and expedites the generation of all required reports.

Segregation and Packing – Bottles, bags or pails containing <5 gallons of liquid or <50 lbs. of solids are segregated into compatible chemical groups and packaged into chemically suitable, UN-rated drums with appropriate absorbent materials. Complete inventories are generated on site and attached to each shipping container. All shipping container labels are generated and also attached ensuring complete compliance with all applicable DOT and EPA regulations.

Waste materials stored in volumes, which exceed these amounts, are considered “bulk” wastes and are sampled and profiled by the on-site chemists. The representative samples are then brought to an EPA certified laboratory for analysis. Once the analysis is complete, the waste stream can be approved for shipment into the disposal facility. The waste stream is classified, proper hazard class and shipping names are determined and waste codes are identified.
