Hazardous waste disposal for consumer products
Household, personal care and packaged goods manufacturing.
Greer Enterprises handles hazardous and industrial waste for consumer products 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 consumer products generates
The streams we see most often in this sector:
- Off specification and recalled finished product
- Aerosol filling line waste and defective cans
- Fragrance, alcohol and solvent based formulation waste
- Cleaning and sanitation chemicals
- Packaging line damaged goods
- Discontinued line inventory
What matters in this sector
The defining feature here is that waste arrives in retail packaging, so depackaging is nearly always the first step. Recall work is documentation driven, and lot level certification usually matters more to the client than the disposal cost.
Services that apply
- Depackaging for retail and bulk product
- Certified destruction for recalls
- Aerosol handling and puncturing
- Alcohol recovery from suitable streams
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 consumer products sites specifically?
The defining feature here is that waste arrives in retail packaging, so depackaging is nearly always the first step. 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.
