We, also, handle the disposal of various waste streams affiliated with various manufacturing industries. Whether you business generates waste paints & solvents, filter cakes & metal sludge, plating waste, acids & acid washes, photo chemicals, cosmetic waste, or printing waste & adhesives.

Western Environmental Services transports your waste into the disposal facility (TSDF) which specializes in your waste streams.

The most common hazardous waste management violations that DTSC has identified at electroplating facilities:

• Failure to prepare a written hazardous waste tank system assessment certified by an independent, qualified, professional engineer registered in California, and failure to reassess hazardous waste tank systems as required by regulations.
• Failure to provide adequate secondary containment for tanks and containers.
• Failure to segregate incompatible wastes.
• Many facilities perform certain activities that are considered “treatment” under current law, such as the rinsing of filters contaminated with plating bath residues. These treatment activities require a permit or grant of authorization.
• Failure to prepare a written waste analysis plan and maintain waste analysis records for all hazardous wastes treated onsite under Permit by Rule (PBR).
• Failure to adequately train employees that manage hazardous wastes, and failure to maintain their training records.
• Failure to clean up spilled hazardous plating chemicals from the floor of the facility.
• Failure to correctly label containers and tanks that are used to hold hazardous wastes.
