Hazardous Waste Disposal

Hazardous waste disposal handled by the licensed hauler, not a broker

HCI Environmental picks up, transports and disposes of hazardous and non-hazardous waste for businesses, institutions and public agencies throughout Southern California. Chemical, industrial, pharmaceutical and biological waste streams move under HCI's own EPA identification, USDOT registration and California hazardous materials transportation license, so one crew and one set of paperwork cover the job from your dock to the permitted disposal facility.

Most routine quotes come back in writing within 24 hours, and pickups are typically scheduled within two to three business days of approval. Our operations team prepares the shipping documents, supports packaging and labeling, creates the manifest and coordinates directly with the treatment, storage and disposal facility so your load is received without delay.

Every shipment follows DOT and EPA rules for containers, labels and documentation, and every container is tracked cradle to grave. When the job closes you receive the signed manifest copies and disposal certificates for your generator file.

Request a quote
What types of hazardous waste does HCI dispose of?
Ignitable, corrosive, reactive and toxic wastes: spent solvents, paints and coatings, acids and bases, industrial sludges, contaminated soil and water, lab and pharmaceutical chemicals, aerosols, oil filters and universal waste such as lamps and batteries. If you are unsure what a material is, we characterize it before it moves.
How much does hazardous waste disposal cost?
It depends on the waste stream, the quantity, the containers and the disposal facility that can accept it. Send the waste type, approximate quantity and address and you will get a written quote, usually within 24 hours. There is no charge for the quote.
How fast can you pick up?
Routine pickups are typically scheduled within two to three business days of approving the quote. Spills and urgent removals go through the 24/7 line at 800.988.4424 and dispatch immediately.
Do I need an EPA ID number before you can pick up?
Generators of hazardous waste need an EPA identification number, and we help you get one or confirm the one you have as part of the paperwork. Our team also assists with waste classification so the right codes go on the manifest.
Who fills out the manifest?
We prepare the Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest, handle the e-Manifest submission and return the signed copies and disposal certificates to you. You sign as the generator; everything else is handled.
Where does the waste go?
To permitted treatment, storage and disposal facilities. HCI is the licensed transporter and coordinates directly with the facility so the load is received and documented. Each shipment is tracked cradle to grave.
Can you handle one drum, or only full truckloads?
Both. Many customers are on recurring drum exchange routes sized to what they generate. Others schedule bulk vacuum truck or tanker loads, roll-offs for solids or one-time cleanouts when a facility closes or moves.
Do you take household hazardous waste?
No. HCI serves businesses, institutions and public agencies. Residents should use their county household hazardous waste collection program.
