Many times the staff at ADCO is contacted by waste generators that find themselves in complicated scenarios regarding how to properly dispose of their waste. Some common issues we hear are: that their waste is stored in drums that are considered to be of an odd ball size in nature, their drums contain unknown constituents which will require sampling and analysis and we can recommend many good third party labs to test your waste, and of course projects where state and/or federal agencies have become involved.
