Public Works master agreement
Hazardous waste and emergency response agreement signed by Public Works and usable by every city department.

Public Works master agreement on file
The city's Public Works master agreement already covers every city department, and the Canyon plants, Resort hotels and stadium-district projects are a 20 to 30 minute run from our Corona yard.

Services
Twelve services for the county's largest city

Plating lines, electronics assemblers, food processors and print shops in the Canyon industrial district, hotel engineering departments in the Resort and the city's own yards produce solvents, acids, caustics, oily water, paint and lab chemicals. HCI profiles each stream, drops off containers and labels, prepares the manifest and hauls it to a licensed disposal facility aboard an HCI truck, the same process every city department uses under the master agreement.
Quotes arrive in writing, generally within one business day, and most routine pickups go on the schedule that same week.
What we handle locally

Every shipment rides on HCI equipment: box vans with placards for drums and lab packs, vacuum trucks and tankers for liquid loads, roll-offs for solids and debris and a crane truck when a tank has to go. Drivers hold HAZWOPER training, placards and papers get finished at the dock before the truck rolls, and the generator deals with a single transporter until the disposal site signs for the load.
What we handle locally

A tanker rollover at the 5 and 91 interchange, a forklift puncture on a Canyon loading dock, a pool chemical release at a Resort hotel or a fuel spill in a city parking structure all reach the same dispatcher, who takes the call on 800.988.4424 day or night and sends a Corona crew straight up the 91. On site the crew stops the source, blocks the storm drains and loads the recovered material for disposal before leaving.
City departments order this work under the Public Works master agreement; private generators call the same number.
What we handle locally

The flood control channels, the rail corridor through the Canyon, freeway embankments along the 5 and 91 and vacant parcels waiting on development collect encampments that return season after season. HCI crews take down structures, haul the debris, box sharps and bag biohazards separately, write a manifest for anything hazardous and deliver a dated photo set for each location to the department or owner that ordered the work.
What we handle locally

The Police Department's indoor range is on an HCI maintenance contract. Technicians HEPA vacuum the floors, walls, baffles and booths, mine spent rounds out of the bullet trap, service the target carriers and swap the ventilation filters; the lead-bearing waste leaves on HCI's licenses with its own manifest, and a service report is issued after each visit.
What we handle locally

The Canyon's plating shops, machine shops, food plants and aerospace suppliers run clarifiers, oil-water separators, coolant sumps, pits and process tanks that fill up on a schedule. An HCI vacuum truck pumps them down, a permit-required confined space crew goes inside when the walls need scraping, and the sludge leaves on the same truck with its manifest already written.
What we handle locally

Urgent cares and dental groups along Harbor and Euclid, the hospital campuses, first aid stations at the venues and the labs in the Canyon put sharps, red bag material and lab waste on a route, sealed for a permitted medical waste treatment facility and tracked container by container.
What we handle locally

The hotel inventory around the Convention Center and a large rental housing stock mean the city sees its share of unattended deaths and violent incidents. HCI technicians isolate the room, remove and dispose of the biohazards under OSHA bloodborne pathogen rules, restore the space and hand the manager or agency the paperwork the insurer wants.
What we handle locally

Motel rooms on the older commercial strips, apartments and houses that were used to cook or heavily use methamphetamine get tested, stripped of contaminated finishes and fixtures, cleaned to EPA voluntary guidelines and retested until the county health department releases the property for tenants.
What we handle locally

Guest rooms, short-term rentals, rideshare vehicles and public restrooms flagged for fentanyl get closed off and cleaned by HCI crews in full protective gear with HEPA vacuums and air scrubbers, then documented so the room or vehicle can go back in service.
What we handle locally

Older motels, tilt-up warehouses and underground tanks come out ahead of housing and mixed-use projects in the Platinum Triangle, along Beach Boulevard and in the Canyon. HCI takes structures down under its C-21 classification, recycles the concrete, steel and wood, and packages whatever regulated material turns up behind the walls.
What we handle locally

Stadium-district redevelopment, Canyon site cleanups and city capital projects call for underground tanks pulled with closure reports, impacted soil dug, hauled and backfilled, and the site restored. HCI holds the Class A license, carries DIR registration for prevailing wage work and already has a Public Works master agreement with the city.
What we handle locally
Local
It is the most populous city in Orange County and the tenth largest in California, and its work is spread across distinct districts: the Resort and Convention Center district around Harbor Boulevard, the Platinum Triangle stadium district at the 5 and 57, the Canyon industrial district north of the 91, downtown and the Colony, and the west side along Beach Boulevard. From HCI's Corona yard the 91 reaches the Canyon exits in about 20 minutes and the Resort in about 30.
The city's Public Works department signed a master agreement that makes HCI an approved hazardous waste and emergency response vendor for every department, and the Police Department holds a separate contract for its firing range. Fullerton, Orange, Garden Grove, Buena Park and Placentia share borders and the same roads.
