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

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. |
