This is the part most people don’t know until it’s too late. Under federal RCRA law the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act you’re responsible for your hazardous waste from the moment it’s generated to the moment it’s properly disposed of. That’s what “cradle to grave” means. If the company you hire cuts corners, uses an unlicensed facility, or skips the manifest, you can still be held financially responsible for the cleanup. Your name stays on it.
That’s why who you hire matters more than what you pay. A legitimate hazardous waste transporter carries a current EPA ID number, holds DOT hazardous materials certification, and transports waste only to approved Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facilities. We do all of that and we give you the paperwork that proves it. If someone can’t tell you exactly where your waste is going, that’s a problem worth taking seriously before you sign anything.
