A county contractor that reaches the water
Ten million people and the two busiest ports in the country make this county the biggest hazardous waste market in the West. HCI serves it under agreements with the county, its beaches department, two city governments and a city police department, and from Corona the 91 and 60 put the Gateway Cities about 45 minutes from the yard.
Industrial customers cluster along the 710 and 605 corridors, in the harbor area and across the South Bay; county and city agencies stretch from the beaches to the San Gabriel Valley. All of it is dispatched from one desk with one set of licenses.

Request a quoteHow far is Corona from the county line?
About 25 minutes on the 91 to the county line and 45 minutes to the Gateway Cities in normal traffic. For emergencies the dispatcher quotes an honest arrival window when you call.
Does HCI have agreements with the County of Los Angeles?
Yes. HCI holds facilities agreements with the county and works for its Department of Beaches and Harbors, in addition to contracts with two city governments and a city police department.
Can you pick up from a plant along the 710 or 605 on a schedule?
Yes. Most industrial customers in the Gateway Cities are on monthly or quarterly routes with a standing profile, so each visit is just a manifest and a signature.
Do you clean up oil on the beach or in a harbor parking lot?
Yes. The county beach work and a South Bay city's emergency response contract both involve coastal cleanups, and our crews are set up to protect the sand and the storm drains that reach the bay.
Can a police department use you for crime scene and evidence room cleanup?
Yes. One San Gabriel Valley department already has HCI on contract for both, and other departments can quote directly.
Does HCI handle film studio and production waste?
Studios and production facilities generate paint, solvent, lamp and battery waste like any business, and HCI picks it up under the same hazardous and universal waste services. Ask for a quote.
What about the Antelope Valley?
The high desert end of the county is served as scheduled runs. We dispatch emergencies there as well, with longer drive times than the basin.
