Hazardous waste disposal for construction and demolition
Commercial construction, industrial demolition and renovation.
Greer Enterprises handles hazardous and industrial waste for construction and demolition across eight Southeast states. We characterize the stream, assign waste codes, manifest the shipment and route it to a permitted facility, with the treatment path named before anything is scheduled.
Source: 40 CFR Parts 260 through 268What construction and demolition generates
The streams we see most often in this sector:
- Lead paint debris and blast media, D008
- Asbestos containing material where applicable
- Adhesives, sealants, coatings and solvents
- Contaminated soil from site work
- Fuel, oil and hydraulic fluid from equipment
- Universal waste from building strip out
What matters in this sector
Renovation and demolition on older structures routinely turns up lead paint and sometimes asbestos, and the determination is worth making before the work rather than after the debris is in a pile. Volumes here are large enough that generator status frequently changes for the duration of a project.
Services that apply
- Contaminated soil characterization and disposal
- Lead debris handling
- Roll off supply for bulk streams
- Scheduling against construction programmes
What every shipment produces
- Signed Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest, EPA Form 8700-22
- Land disposal restriction notification per regulated stream
- Waste profile with assigned codes and supporting basis
- Certificate of destruction or treatment from the receiving facility
- Documentation that holds up on inspection
Common questions
Do you work with construction and demolition sites specifically?
Renovation and demolition on older structures routinely turns up lead paint and sometimes asbestos, and the determination is worth making before the work rather than after the debris is in a pile. Greer has served industry across the Southeast since 2001, with Certified Hazardous Materials Managers on staff.
How is a quote built?
Per stream rather than per site. Volume, container type, contamination, treatment path and distance to the receiving facility all move the number. Recovery is priced alongside disposal where the stream supports it.
Can you handle a stream nobody has characterized?
Yes. Characterization is the first step and it is what keeps a load from being rejected. Send a profile, an old manifest or photographs of the drums and a technical professional will tell you what you are holding.
