PCB Waste Disposal

The challenge as we see it

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were manufactured in the United States starting in the 1930s, and were used as coolants in electric transformers and a range of everyday household products. They were banned by the EPA in 1977 because they take a long time to break down in nature and can cause harmful health effects. Before the ban, disposal of PCBs was unregulated and occurred in landfills and was considered normal industrial waste. Today, PCB disposal is heavily regulated and requires a special permit.

Our differentiated value

We provide an efficient way to destroy PCBs using high-temperature incineration, which is environmentally-compliant and cost-effective. We are permitted according to EPA regulations for all stages of PCB management, including transportation, storage, transfer and ultimate destruction via incineration. Our Port Arthur incineration facility is fully-permitted for RCRA and PCB waste — protecting you against liability of improperly-managed waste. We maintain an excellent record of compliance with environmental regulations.
