Chemicals, flammable liquids, solvents, and adhesives. Sounds like high school chemistry, but at Metro Waste Authority, hazardous materials are serious business - for us and for you. A hazardous waste is any solid, liquid or contained gas that is being disposed of, burned or recycled, that is known to be harmful to human health and the environment when not managed properly.

Most businesses generate or store some type of hazardous materials, and the regulations governing how to dispose of them (and even the proper way to store them on the shelf) can be confusing. Our employees help businesses like yours assess their purchasing procedures to find less hazardous alternatives. MWA can also design a time-saving maintenance program to prevent future stockpiles of hazardous materials and then provide safe and responsible options for the excess.

If you don't know where to start, let MWA help. We've read the books, passed the tests, and have the answers. With thousands of wastes classified as hazardous, you can count on our team of environmental experts to work with you individually to assess your current disposal and storage situation. We'll also make sure that excess hazardous materials are disposed of in a safe and responsible manner, and all the options you're provided are affordable ones.*

Last year, MWA assisted more than 100 businesses with their hazardous waste needs and we're ready to help you. RCC staff can answer your questions or assist you in this determination. Call 967-5512 or 1-888-603-CREW.

* Businesses that participate in MWA's hazardous waste program usually see a 40 percent cost savings compared to a contracted hazardous waste disposal company.
