Easy Hazardous Waste Disposal

We haul your hazardous waste out of your way.

Hazardous Waste Disposal

Waste Diversion is unique in that we also help you with the diversion of your hazardous waste. Hazardous waste can be anything from certain household cleaners to toxic waste products that cannot be exposed to our groundwater. Hazardous waste disposal is the process in which waste is collected, removed and then remediated. To remediate waste means to either transform it into a safe waste product through treatment, isolation or recycling. We offer recycling of certain hazardous wastes like some paints and oils and you can visit their specific pages for more information. The end of the process requires that the hazardous waste be effectively neutralized and kept from being able to degrade and enter the environment.

Your One Stop Solution

We are your complete waste diversion solution. Hazardous wastes require special handling and management as they pose a threat to human health and/or the environment if they are not handled or disposed of properly. We strictly employ disposal procedures that comply with the requirements enforced by the Ministry of Environment. We know how to properly classify chemical wastes, package them in the appropriate containers, and dispose them in an eco-friendly manner. Failure to follow the mandated standards (as set by the Ontario government) can result in penalties and fines for a business.
