Any manufacturing by-product of a manufacturing facility is considered a special waste and must be handled according to environmental laws. This includes solid and liquid waste streams.

3. How do I select the proper waste disposal service to suit my organization?
One should select a company that has extensive experience in the environmental arena. A boutique brokerage such as Progressive Environmental Services represents over 35 different ISO treatment facilities that can handle a varied cross section of waste generators. Go with the experience and environmental background that a solid company has to offer.

4. Am I responsible for the proper disposal of my hazardous waste? If so, what do I need to do to limit my liability?
Every generator whether they generate a hazardous or non-hazardous waste stream is responsible for the safe disposal of their wastes. The so called “cradle to grave” liability is impossible to ignore. Your only protection is by dealing with a company that follows all environmental laws, employs a staff of experienced environmental people and that uses EPA manifests to track all shipments. The manifest shows the generator, the transporter used and the ultimate destination of the shipment of waste.

The professionals at Progressive Environmental Services constantly audit not only our transporters of waste, but also our treatment facilities. By using the Freedom of Information Act we are able to learn about any violations that could ultimately put you in harms way. Should something be noted; we would send your wastes to another facility until any doubts of compliance are removed.
