- Highly concentrated asbestos
- Lead paint
- Fluorescent and mercury lamps
- Pesticides
- Solvents and paints
- Lithium batteries
- Electronic waste containing toxic metals
Each type of hazardous waste requires specialized handling and disposal procedures to mitigate risks and meet regulatory requirements.
How to Determine If a Waste is Hazardous
Hazardous wastes exhibit one or more of the following characteristics, as defined in 22 CCR:
- Ignitability
- Corrosivity
- Reactivity
- Toxicity
If you are dealing with waste that exhibits any one or more of those traits, contact a hazardous waste removal specialist like ETS.
Whose Responsibility Is Commercial Hazardous Waste Removal?
Identifying the need for commercial hazardous waste removal is the responsibility of the business owner, but you don’t have to do it alone. If you think your business is generating hazardous waste material, it’s time to partner with reputable hazardous waste transporters, like ETS.
Eagle Transfer Services: Experts in Commercial Hazardous Waste Disposal
Eagle Transfer Services has built a reputation as a leader in commercial hazardous waste disposal by offering tailored solutions that ensure safety, compliance, and efficiency. Here’s how ETS helps businesses manage their hazardous waste:
1. Compliance with Federal, State, and Local Regulations
One of the biggest challenges in hazardous waste management is understanding and adhering to all relevant regulations. The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), along with various state and local laws, set strict guidelines for how hazardous waste must be handled.
ETS stays up-to-date with regulations, ensuring that your business remains compliant at every step. Whether it’s obtaining the necessary permits, completing the appropriate documentation, or meeting specific disposal protocols, ETS has the expertise to navigate these complexities for you.
2. Comprehensive Waste Audits and Planning
Every commercial operation generates waste differently, depending on the industry and the materials involved. At ETS, we begin our hazardous waste disposal services with a thorough waste audit to identify the types and volumes of hazardous waste your business produces.
We determine which category of hazardous waste generators your business falls into:
- Very small quantity generator, accumulating < 2,204 pounds of hazardous waste at any time,
- small quantity generator, accumulating < 13,227 pounds of hazardous waste at any time,
- or large quantity generator, with no limit to hazardous material accumulation.
From there, ETS works with you to develop a tailored waste management plan that fits your specific needs. This plan will outline the safest and most cost-effective methods of collection, transportation, and disposal, ensuring your business meets all legal requirements while reducing environmental impact.

4. Environmentally Responsible Disposal
We are committed to environmental sustainability, and our hazardous waste disposal methods reflect this. Each disposal option we offer is compliant with current regulations. Options include:
- Incineration: For materials that are highly toxic and cannot be recycled, incineration provides a safe and effective way to neutralize hazardous waste.

- Recycling and Reuse: Whenever possible, ETS promotes the recycling or reuse of hazardous materials to minimize the impact on landfills and reduce your business’s environmental footprint.

Accidents can happen, and when they do, a rapid response is critical. Eagle Transfer Services offers emergency hazardous waste cleanup services to address spills, leaks, or other hazardous situations that could put your employees, the environment, and your business at risk.
