What we do

Hazardous waste and emergency services, handled by one licensed crew

Why HCI

One licensed team from the first call to the final manifest

Most hazardous waste companies broker the parts they cannot do themselves. HCI holds the contractor, hazmat and transport licenses to carry a job end to end, so you get one crew, one point of contact and one set of paperwork.

Excellent customer service, timeliness and 25 years of doing this for industry and government. That is how Greg Parker, HCI's president, describes why customers stay.

How it works

From your call to a closed manifest

Routine pickups follow the same four steps as emergencies. The difference is how fast the truck leaves the yard.

1
Dispatcher taking a service request

Call or request

A live operator answers 24/7. Tell us what you have, where it is and how urgent. Emergencies dispatch immediately.

2
Crew reviewing a waste profile and quote

Scope and quote

We characterize the waste, confirm handling requirements and send a written quote with the paperwork we will file for you.

3
Placarded truck leaving for pickup

Dispatch and manifest

A HAZWOPER crew arrives with the right containers and placards, packages the waste and manifests the load on site.

4
Drums delivered to a permitted facility

Disposal and documentation

Waste goes to the permitted facility and you receive the signed manifest and certificates for your generator file.

Questions

Answers before you call

The questions facility managers and purchasing staff ask most. Anything else, the live operator can answer.

What types of hazardous waste does HCI pick up?
Ignitable, corrosive, reactive and toxic wastes, spent solvents, paints and coatings, acids and bases, contaminated soil and water, lab chemicals, universal waste such as lamps and batteries, and biohazard waste. If you are not sure how a stream is classified, we characterize and profile it for you.
Is HCI the actual hauler, or a broker?
HCI is the licensed transporter and contractor. Our own crews, trucks and licenses carry the job from pickup through disposal at a permitted facility, which is why one set of paperwork covers the whole shipment.
How fast can a crew respond to a chemical spill?
A live operator answers 800.988.4424 around the clock, every day of the year, and dispatches a HAZWOPER-trained crew from Corona or San Jose. Response time depends on your location and traffic; the operator gives you a realistic estimate on the call.
Do you handle the manifest and the e-Manifest filing?
Yes. We prepare the Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest, handle the e-Manifest submission, and return the signed copies and disposal certificates for your generator file.
Can cities and counties use HCI without a new bid?
Often, yes. HCI holds on-call and master agreements with a number of Southern California cities, counties and special districts, and is a qualified contractor for several County of Riverside departments. Ask us which vehicle applies to your agency.
Do you offer scheduled pickups for small generators?
Yes. Many customers are on recurring drum exchange routes sized to how much they generate. We also do one-time cleanouts for facilities that are closing, moving or clearing out legacy chemicals.
Which licenses and registrations does HCI hold?
California Contractors State License 788216 with Class A General Engineering, C-21 Demolition and HAZ certifications; EPA ID CAR000329953; USDOT 4438022; Hazardous Materials Transportation License 137055; and DIR registration 1000004254.
Do you take household hazardous waste from residents?
No. HCI serves businesses, institutions and public agencies. Residents should use their county household hazardous waste collection program.
