Hazardous Waste Disposal in Austin
Hazardous waste disposal in Austin, TX is offered by ADCO Environmental which is a full-service waste management company. ADCO provides generators generating special types of waste in Austin such as hazardous and radioactive waste with cradle to grave waste management type services such as: waste profiling, manifesting, packing, transportation, and signed in proof of delivery into a licensed waste processing facility.
Hazardous & Radioactive Waste Disposal Options for Austin
We specialize in the final disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous waste streams, profiling of waste into licensed processing facilities, laboratory waste packing (Labpacks), Oil and Coolant disposal, and even radioactive/nuclear waste disposal for Austin waste generators.
Whether you’re a very small quantity generator (VSQG) or a even large quantity generator (LQG), ADCO can help. If you find that you need assistance with obtaining a USEPA Site ID number needed to ship out most hazardous waste, we are able to assist you with that as well. We can help you apply for a new number to use for the future or we can even help you obtain an “Episodic Event Waiver” if this is just a one time clean-out.
When it comes to finding USDOT approved shipping containers, our company offers all types and sizes of USDOT approved shipping containers to our customers and we are even willing to guide you to a supplier you may utilize on your own if you wish to buy direct and save yourself money. If you end up with a leaking drum, we are still able to assist you with properly disposing of that as well. ADCO’s staff is well trained on overpacking and repacking techniques set forth by the USDOT and USEPA if the shipping container the waste is contained in is not in shippable condition and in need of being replaced to be considered roadworthy.
Many times we are contacted by waste generators that find themselves in complicated scenarios regarding how to properly dispose of their waste. Some common issues we are told are: that their waste is stored in drums that are considered to be of an odd ball size in nature, the drums contain unknown constituents which will require sampling and analysis, and projects where state and/or federal agencies are now involved. Our promise to you is that we will properly manage your waste from beginning to end and dispose of your waste at a only a fully licensed and insured waste processor.

Over the years that ADCO has been in business, it’s prepared countless waste profiles for clients. We are very familiar with the waste profiling process at waste processors which is ever changing and ADCO’s staff is well aware that the preparation of the paperwork needed to ship out hazardous waste is very time consuming to prepare and often can be confusing. Do know that ADCO can prepare your waste profiles and shipping manifests for you on your behalf!
Waste profiles are prepared in-house by our staff which has many years of knowledge when it comes to working with waste processors and knowing what is required to get your waste profile approved.
