Services

Twelve services for the county's largest city

Accountable Hazardous Waste Disposal Anaheim

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

  • 01

    Plating and electronics shop chemicals

  • 02

    Hotel and resort maintenance waste

Seasoned Anaheim Hazardous Waste Transportation

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

  • 01

    Drums and lab packs in a placarded van

  • 02

    Liquid loads in a tanker or vac truck

  • 03

    Solids and debris by roll-off

Prepared Emergency Spill Response Anaheim

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

  • 01

    Freeway interchange and arterial releases

  • 02

    Dock and warehouse floor spills

  • 03

    Pool chemical and fuel releases at hotels

HCI technician clearing an encampment along a fence line, and a flood control channel under a freeway after the clearance

Documented Anaheim Homeless Encampment Cleanup

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

  • 01

    Channel and rail corridor sweeps

  • 02

    Freeway embankment cleanups

  • 03

    A dated photo set for every site

HCI technicians in protective suits mining lead from the rubber bullet trap of an indoor police range

Skilled Firing Range Maintenance Anaheim

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

  • 01

    Trap mining and lead recovery

  • 02

    Booth, baffle and floor HEPA cleaning

  • 03

    Ventilation filter changes with disposal

Meticulous Anaheim Industrial Cleaning

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

  • 01

    Plating line tank and pit cleanouts

  • 02

    Separator and clarifier pump-downs

  • 03

    Coolant sump service for machine shops

Respectful Anaheim Trauma Scene Cleanup

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

    Hotel rooms and vacation rentals

  • 02

    Apartments and single-family homes

  • 03

    Civic buildings and patrol cars

Practical Demolition Contractor Anaheim

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

  • 01

    Motel and tilt-up teardowns

  • 02

    Concrete, steel and wood recycling

  • 03

    Hazardous materials found mid-job

Local

The county's biggest city, a short drive from our yard

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.

What hotel engineers, plant managers and city staff ask before they order.

Request a quote
Does the city already buy from HCI?
Yes. Public Works signed a master agreement that any city department can order hazardous waste or emergency response work under, and the Police Department contracts separately for range maintenance.
How quickly can a crew reach the Canyon or the Resort?
Count on roughly 20 minutes to the Canyon exits and 30 to the Resort from Corona when traffic cooperates. If something is actively leaking, the dispatcher sends the truck before the paperwork starts and gives you a real arrival estimate.
We run a hotel near the Convention Center. What do you take?
Pool and spa chemicals, paint and solvents from engineering, fluorescent lamps and ballasts, batteries, grease trap and oil-water separator pumping and the occasional guest room decontamination, each on its own paperwork.
Can a plating or electronics shop in the Canyon set up a recurring pickup?
Yes. We write a waste profile for each stream, put you on a standing monthly or quarterly route and send back the signed manifest copies and the certificate of disposal after every load.
Who handles encampments along the channels and the rail line?
The city or the property owner orders the cleanup; HCI crews clear the site, package the sharps and biohazards and deliver dated photos of the cleared site so the agency can close out the work order.
What happens to the lead from the police range?
It is mined out of the trap, drummed, profiled and shipped on an HCI manifest to a permitted facility, and the department gets the paperwork for its file.
We manage apartments on the west side. Will you take a dumped drum or leftover paint?
Yes. Unknown drums get sampled and identified first, then packed and hauled; leftover paint, pool chemicals and garage spills are routine calls with a written quote up front.
