1. Why do I need an environmental company to assist with disposal of my waste?
Special, hazardous, non-hazardous, or any manufacturing by-product must be handled in an environmentally-compliant manner. Our expertise allows us to select for you the best treatment facility with the closest distance and most competitive price to serve you and your specific waste stream. We eliminate the guesswork and follow your waste from “cradle to grave”

2. What materials need to be disposed of with the use of a waste disposal service?
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. Many liquids cannot be thrown down the drain because of local ordinances. If you have some concern please do not hesitate to Contact Us.

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 47 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?
All waste generators, whether they generate a hazardous or non-hazardous waste stream, are 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.

5. How can Progressive Environmental Services assist my organization?
Progressive Environmental Services will provide you with the all that is necessary to give you the peace of mind when it comes to environmental responsibility. We will limit your liability by employing the professionals that know what they are doing. With over 100 years of combined experience you can be assured that your shipments of waste will be cared for in a safe and compliant manner.

6. How can I be assured that my waste hauler is disposing of my waste in accordance with the law?
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.
