Quad Cities Landfill Helps Businesses Manage Special Waste
No matter what kind of business you are in, there may be a time when you need to dispose of special waste materials that cannot be placed in your regular commercial dumpster, compactor or roll-off container.
What is Special Waste?
Special waste is defined as any waste material which, because of its physical, chemical or biological characteristics requires special handling procedures, or poses an unusual threat to the environment, equipment, property, and the public health, welfare and safety.
Types of special waste include:
- Asbestos containing materials
- Automobile shredder residue
- Contaminated floor sweepings
- Petroleum contaminated soil
- Refractory brick
- Sludges
- Tank cleaning residue
- Many other items too
