Mixed Waste Disposal Service
Mixed Waste Disposal & Radioactive Mixed Waste Disposal Offered By ADCO
ADCO Services specializes in offering a full-service comprehensive mixed waste disposal service at one of our licensed TSDF locations we have a close working relationship with. Liquid wastes that exhibit two or more types of U.S.D.O.T. hazard classes are considered a mixed waste and require special processing for proper disposal. A mixed waste will contain for example: radioactive isotopes as well as contain hazardous constituents combined in the same container creating a mixed waste carrying a U.S.D.O.T. hazard class of Class 7 and usually Class 3, Class 8, or sometimes codes for TCLP heavy metals.
Sometimes scintillation vials, scintillation media, bottles of liquid, and bulk liquids contained in drums will fall into the category of being considered a mixed waste where two or more USDOT hazard classes will be present in the same container. Mixed waste streams such as these will require special labeling, shipping names, profiling, and processing for their disposal.
Mixed wastes for example may contain: Toluene, Xylene, or Acetonitrile, along with radioisotopes, heavy metals, or other RCRA and EPA listed wastes. Certain packaging and disposal requirements as well as manifesting must be met before mixed wastes can be shipped for disposal.
