Hazardous and Radioactive Waste Disposal in Roanoke

Hazardous and radioactive waste disposal services in Roanoke are provided by ADCO Environmental Services. ADCO has made it its mission over our years in business to offer waste generators in and near Roanoke with all types of waste management services for properly disposing of one’s waste. We specialize in cradle to grave disposal services for all types of hazardous, non-hazardous waste, and radioactive waste streams commonly generated by businesses, government institutions, and industrial facilities.

ADCO Offers Roanoke with 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 Roanoke besides the actual disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous waste streams is the profiling of waste into processors, packing of laboratory waste 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.

ADCO is routinely contacted by waste generators that are in very complex situations regarding how to properly dispose of their waste. We often hear the generator’s waste is contained in drums considered to be of an odd ball size in nature or that the containers the waste is in are questionable as to if they are even 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 into and can even help you locate a supplier you may utilize on your own to help you save even more 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.
