Polished Hazardous Waste Disposal Orange County
Research labs along the 405, plating and electronics shops in the central cities, the industrial north county and the county's own facilities ship drums, lab packs and bulk liquids through HCI. We classify each stream, bring DOT-rated containers, complete the manifest and deliver to a permitted disposal site with HCI as the licensed transporter.
Written quotes generally arrive by the next business day; the County of Orange Health Care Agency is among the agencies using this service.

On a street, in an alley or inside a plant, the crew controls the source, keeps product out of the storm system and removes the contaminated material before it leaves.
A county oil release on a residential alley was contained, cleaned and the pavement restored on a single visit.

Get a written price
Describe the waste or the job and where it is. Most quotes are returned by the next business day.
Request a quoteWhich cities here can use HCI without a new contract?
The 31 member cities covered by the County of Orange on-call agreement, plus the cities that hold their own master agreements with us. Other agencies can quote directly or piggyback on an existing agreement.
Does HCI respond for the Fire Authority?
Yes. OCFA has an emergency response agreement in place with HCI for hazardous materials releases, and the same crews answer private calls through 800.988.4424.
Do you maintain police firing ranges in the county?
Yes. The Sheriff's Department and four city police departments contract with HCI for range maintenance, lead mining or ventilation filter service.
Can a biotech or medical device company near the airport use you for lab waste?
Yes. We lab pack reagents, solvents and expired materials, ship them on our own licenses, and return the manifests and certificates your EHS file needs.
What is the drive time from Corona to the coast?
Crews leave Corona on the 91 the moment the dispatcher takes the call. North county stops are typically under 40 minutes and the coast a bit more, depending on traffic.
We manage HOAs and apartments in south county. Do you handle small jobs?
Yes. Leftover paint and chemicals, a car leaking in a parking structure or an encampment on a slope are routine calls, and a south county retirement community is already a contract customer.
Can you work at John Wayne Airport?
Yes. HCI holds an agreement with the airport and our crews are familiar with its access requirements.
