Hazardous Waste Services

Compliant pickup, transport, and end-disposal for industrial hazardous streams. Coordinated alongside your other recycling so you have one partner, not five.

One Partner for the Stuff Most Recyclers Won't Touch

Most commercial recyclers stop at paper, plastic, and metal. Hazardous waste then becomes its own contract, its own dispatcher, and its own paperwork stream. CRI runs hazardous waste as part of your overall program, EPA-compliant transporters, signed manifests, and documented end-disposal, alongside the materials we already handle for you.

Whether it's used oil from a maintenance shop, off-spec solvent from a coatings line, lab packs from a QA bench, or universal waste from a building cleanout, we scope the program to your generator status and stream profile. The goal is the same as everything else CRI does: turn an operational headache into a managed, transparent line item.

Streams We Handle

From routine industrial liquids to one-off lab packs, CRI scopes a program around what you actually generate.

Used Oil & Coolants

Hydraulic, lubricating, and cutting fluids generated by manufacturing and fleet maintenance operations

Solvents & Cleaners

Spent industrial solvents, parts-washer fluids, and cleaning chemistries from production and shop floors

Paints, Inks & Adhesives

Off-spec, expired, or wash-down paints, inks, and adhesive residues from coatings and packaging operations

Aerosols

Partially used or off-spec aerosol cans across maintenance, lab, and production environments

Universal Waste

Lamps, batteries, electronics, and mercury-containing devices that fall under streamlined universal waste rules

Lab Packs

Small-quantity, mixed-chemical packs from R&D, QA labs, and educational or healthcare environments

Hazardous Waste FAQ

Common questions about CRI's hazardous waste handling.

Does CRI handle hazardous waste at every facility?+
Hazardous waste runs through CRI's compliance partners and licensed transporters, scoped to your generator status and the streams you produce. We coordinate the pickup, paperwork, and end disposal so it ties into the rest of your recycling program rather than living as a separate vendor relationship.
What about manifests and chain of custody?+
Every shipment moves on a Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest with EPA ID numbers, DOT-compliant labels, and tracked chain of custody from your dock to the destination facility. You receive signed copies for your records and audit trail.
Can hazardous waste pickups ride alongside other CRI loads?+
No. Hazardous streams are kept separate from your standard recycling for safety, regulatory, and equipment reasons. CRI coordinates the schedule so haz pickups slot into the same operational rhythm as your paper, cardboard, plastic, and metal pickups, but the trucks and trailers are dedicated.
How is pricing handled?+
Hazardous waste is priced by stream, container size, frequency, and disposal method. Some streams are recoverable and offset cost; others are pure disposal. CRI quotes the program transparently after a facility walk-through and stream profile review.
What if our facility only generates hazardous waste occasionally?+
Small-quantity and one-time pickups are common. Lab packs, lab cleanouts, building moves, and unexpected spill remediation can all be handled as project work without setting up a recurring program.
