HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT
Industrial. Hazardous. Toxic. Medical. Radioactive.
Hazardous Waste Disposal
AET’s flagship service, hazardous waste management, assists customers with treatment and disposal needs for their bulk and containerized waste–industrial, hazardous, toxic, medical, and radioactive. AET technical field personnel help you characterize your waste and prepare your profiles, manifests, drum labels and land disposal restriction (LDR) notices.
We support you in a broad range of tasks including collecting, characterizing, packaging, transporting, recycling, treatment and disposal. Our field chemists are trained in the characterization of unknown materials. Through visual observation and by performing a series of in-field tests known as HazCatting, AET field chemists can usually provide adequate identification of the unknown waste to properly characterize it for disposal.
Having trouble filling out profiles and manifests? AET produced over 10,000 profiles, manifests and LDRs in the past year. This expertise multiplied over the past quarter century enables clients to focus on their core business while meeting regulatory requirements for transportation and disposal more cost effectively.
AET’s hazwaste smarts are differentiated from competitors because our regulatory specialists and project managers know how unique regulations relate to specific industries and processes. Call us/ contact us for a clearly defined conversation about your favorite waste problem.
Transportation of Hazardous Waste
AET transports hazardous, toxic, industrial, universal, electronic, and radiological waste on a daily basis. Using our fully insured fleet of box vans and lab pack vehicles, our certified hazmat drivers and field chemists load, placard, and affix drum markings and labels. Less-than-Truck load (LTL) programs and frequent routes make it easy for clients to participate in economical and timely pick-up of waste, helping them comply with waste generator requirements. AET also offers bulk transportation with vacuum tankers, roll-offs, super suckers, and rubber-lined or stainless steel tankers.
Medical Waste
Medical Waste
AET’s medical waste program addresses all the requirements of medical waste regulations–FDA, the Joint Commission and RCRA. We identify correct packaging for hazardous waste vs. P-listed acutely hazardous vs. sharps vs. infectious. We return pharmaceuticals and routinely manage residual chemotherapy waste from cancer treatment facilities. AET reduces client costs by rendering an infectious waste noninfectious prior to shipping.
Our oversight and expertise are critical because of the nature of dozens of health care personnel opening containers and adding waste in dozens of hospital areas generating hazardous waste. Added efficiency: AET combines disposal requirements for different types of facilities into one work order for cost-effective disposal.
Radioactive Waste
Radioactive Waste
AET’s staff have expertise in low-level radioactive and mixed waste management, having handled special form (i.e., sealed source disposal) and normal form materials–transuranic, source, special nuclear. AET can treat mixed waste, deactivate oxidizers and neutralize corrosive liquids to remove RCRA characteristics. We size and sort low-level materials for cost-effective disposal and characterize for waste acceptance at permitted facilities.
Our staff will:
- Prepare import/export permits and facility use permits in accordance with State or Compact requirements,
- Assume Broker of Record status for all shipments into AET approved facilities,
- Measure surface radiation and surface contamination levels on container,
- Calculate Limited Quantity and Low Specific Activity (LSA) values to determine proper DOT shipping names and container types,
- Custom-design IP-1 containers,
- Prepare work plans for decontamination or demolition of contaminated facilities,
- Prepare Radioactive and Mixed waste shipping documents, Manifests and Forms 540, 541, 542.
Recycling
Recycling
Clients with by-products containing commodity materials and metals will benefit from AET’s recycling programs: Beneficial reuse, metals reclamation, smelting, precious metals recovery, co-generation and fuel substitution and others. Ask us how using these services can help you minimize waste your company’s waste, promoting sustainable operations.
AET’s Universal Waste and E-Waste programs ease the compliance burden on businesses. The collection process is streamlined and handles proper recycling, treatment or disposal of items such these: batteries, pesticides, mercury-containing thermostats, mercury apparatus, aerosols, florescent and HID lamps and computer parts. Managing these materials as Universal Waste for recycling helps you reduce cost and simplifies your regulatory burden. Ask your AET Technical Representative how you can minimize your waste and demonstrate to your firm that you have exceeded their waste reduction goals!
“AET understands our waste streams and business, and that gives us a level of comfort that I would never want to lose.”
