ADCO specializes in cradle to grave disposal services for all types of hazardous, non-hazardous waste, and radioactive waste streams being generated by businesses, government institutions, as well as industrial facilities.

ADCO Offers Norfolk Disposal Options

ADCO’s specialty is disposing of all waste types with the exception of Class 1 explosives. Some waste management services we offer in Norfolk besides the actual disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous waste streams is the profiling of waste into processors, lab waste packing aka “Lab-packing”, Oil and coolant pump-outs, and even disposing of radioactive/nuclear waste. Regardless of whether you are a very small quantity generator (VSQG) or a large quantity generator (LQG), we are here to assist you with your waste disposal needs.

Many times, ADCO is contacted by waste generators that are in very complex situations regarding properly disposing of their waste such as having their waste contained in drums considered to be of an odd ball size in nature or containers that are questionable as to if they are roadworthy or not. We specialize in shipping waste in proper USDOT approved shipping containers. We can offer all types and sizes of USDOT approved shipping containers for properly packing your waste and can even help you with locating a supplier you may utilize on your own to help you save money. If you end up in a situation where you have a drum that is leaking, that is not a problem either. We can offer overpacking or re-packing options if your shipping container the waste is contained in is damaged and in need of replacement.

  • Seal Containers: Ensure that all containers are sealed tightly to prevent leaks or spills.

  • Do Not Mix Waste: Avoid mixing different types of hazardous materials together, as this can cause dangerous reactions.

  • Transport Safely: Place the items in a sturdy box or container for transport, preferably in your trunk, to minimize exposure in case of leaks.

  • Information on these events can be found on the City of Norfolk’s official website or through local announcements.

    • Recycling Options
