If you are a very small quantity generator (VSQG) or a even large quantity generator (LQG), ADCO is here to aid you with your waste disposal efforts. Even if you are performing a one time clean-out, we can even help you obtain an “Episodic Event Waiver” with your state or USEPA.

ADCO also specializes in offering all types and sizes of USDOT approved shipping containers to our customers and are even willing to guide you to a supplier you may utilize on your own and buy your supplies direct from to save yourself even more money. If you find that you have a drum which is now leaking, we can still help you.

ADCO Is Here For Duluth

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 a unique size, their drums contain unknown contents which will require sampling and analysis, and projects where state and/or federal agencies have become involved. ADCO’s 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 our years in business, we have prepared countless waste profiles for our clients and are familiar with the waste profiling process at waste processors which is ever changing. We are well aware that the preparation of the paperwork needed to ship out hazardous waste is very time consuming to prepare and often very confusing which is why we want you to know we can prepare your waste profiles and shipping manifests for you.

Hazardous 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 profiles approved. Once your waste profiles are approved, we will contact you to schedule a mutually agreeable time to have the waste removed from your facility for final disposal.
