Waste Management & Hazardous Waste Frequently Asked Questions

We provide comprehensive, turn-key solutions for your waste management and hazardous waste disposal needs including the identification and classification of unknown and known materials, categorizing the materials into cost-efficient waste streams and lab packing to allow safe handling and transportation. Our solution includes the proper disposal, manifesting, cleanup (we even clean your shelves and cabinets!), and inventory services. From start to finish, your waste management and hazardous waste disposal needs are made a priority by our trained and honest team members whether on a monthly, annually or as-need basis.

For household waste streams, we recommend you check with your local county as most in the Denver metro area have programs for residents to safely drop off wastes for proper disposal, at little to no cost. We do not accept residential waste drop offs at our office. Additionally, you can find household waste disposal locations here.

Older thermostats, temperature control devises, and thermometers can contain mercury. Fluorescent light tubes and halide bulbs can also contain mercury and the associated ballasts can contain Polychlorinated Biphenyl (PCB). Paints, oils, stains, batteries and materials typically used in science classes are all items that should be properly disposed of by Colorado Hazard Control. These items if not disposed of properly can either cause local contamination through breakages or leach into the ground water once in the landfill.

Soil, is also a source of hazardous materials including asbestos, mercury, lead and fuel.

Please give us a call or send an email, your project will be matched with a Project Manager in your area who will schedule a site visit to create an inventory of the chemicals and identify the unknown materials, if any. Once this is completed, you will receive a proposal for the hazardous waste management and disposal. Upon your approval and the scheduling of the work, the materials will be characterized, categorized and packaged for safe transportation to the disposal site. When we leave your facility, the material storage areas will be left clean and organized! We complete all waste manifesting and labeling on your behalf and provide you with a record of compliant handling and disposal approximately 45 days after the waste is picked up from the facility.

We take a client-centric approach to your project. This means that you can trust us to not only complete the removal of the materials and the hazardous waste disposal properly but we will do so in a way that your needs and wishes are considered. It is not just a job, it’s a comprehensive solution.
