#### The challenge as we see it

High-hazard chemicals can be harmful to people and the environment without proper disposal. Cost-effective and timely service is necessary in situations where a reactive chemical requires stabilization.

#### Our differentiated value

Our local, reactive technicians are specially trained and qualified to manage all types of high-hazard chemicals and can quickly and conveniently assess your chemical inventory, identify the best handling option, and provide a safe, cost effective solution. We have developed procedures for handling each category of chemicals — including those that are a health hazard, flammable and/or reactive. Specialized equipment, planning and training are required to work with all of these materials.

#### Our solutions for high-hazard chemicals management

For each situation, we assess the potential dangers to determine the safest, fastest method of removing the high-hazard chemicals. We use a variety of technologies to remove these chemicals from your site. The chemicals are removed in special containers, if appropriate, to remote locations for stabilization and identification.
