Waste Removal Information

Special Waste and its Waste Removal Pickup

Special waste and hazardous waste are not the same thing. Hazardous waste is not allowed to be disposed of by waste removal services, however special waste is. If you have any trouble determining if your waste is hazardous or not here are some basic guidelines below (however if you still have any questions, call your local waste removal company and they can tell you whether or not they can pick it up for you):

* Freon
* Motor oil
* Explosives
* Corrosive substances
* A reactive substance
* Any normal waste that has been mixed with a hazardous waste
* Any waste derived from hazardous waste
* Etc.

Your local waste removal company will be able to tell you what they can and can’t pick up from you as well as helping you with any further questions that you might have. If they are unable to take something for you, do not try calling other companies as it is illegal by federal law to have a waste removal company pick up hazardous materials.

However, there are items that are called “Special Waste” and differ from hazardous materials. Some examples of special waste are:

* Expired food waste
* Wastewater
* Sludge
* Contaminated soil
* Animal manure
* Ash
* Water treatment plant sludge
* Dead animals
* Etc.

Special waste is defined in one state as “waste which is not regulated hazardous waste, which has physical or chemical characteristics, or both, that are different from municipal, demolition, construction and wood wastes and which potentially requires special handling.”  While not all companies will take the same materials, call to see what companies local to you will be able to remove your special waste.

If your waste removal company is not permitted to remove any of these items, they will be able to talk you through the process of how to get rid of it properly. There are different companies and facilities that have been put in place specifically for some of these materials, especially the category of dead animals.

Will any waste removal company take my hazardous waste? What am I supposed to do with it?

No, it is illegal for a waste removal service to pick up hazardous waste from any commercial, residential, or industrial site. Some examples of hazardous waste are batteries, motor oil, lead, weapons, explosives, flammable items, etc. If you are not sure whether or not your items would be considered hazardous, it is best that you call your chosen waste removal company to see if they are allowed to take it or not. These are not rules set in place by the company; rather, they are actually state and federal laws.

I think a waste removal company can pick up my items. Now what?

Different companies will have a basic list of items that they can and cannot accept (except for the federally illegal hazardous materials). So if you are unsure whether or not you can have your items discarded by your waste removal company or not, give them a call. As all companies will have different items they cannot accept, it is important to ask the company that you are ultimately going to use.
