Hotel Hazardous Waste and Universal Waste

MAINTENANCE MANAGERS CAN FIGHT THE RISING COST OF HAZARDOUS WASTE DISPOSAL

The Solution:

Directed Self-Help

Hotel maintenance managers are always challenged with how to keep up with the changing waste disposal legal environment. Each year, more regulations require new solutions for handling and disposing of waste. Just when you thought that you have achieved compliance you hear about another new regulation.

At Your Door Special Collection^SM has a solution to this problem. We specialize in working with small businesses, and stay up to date with all aspects of hazardous and universal waste management. We can help you set up a system to ensure that you properly handle, store and dispose of regulated waste.

Did you know that all fluorescent lamps and tubes (even green tips) are considered hazardous waste in California when they are discarded because they contain mercury? How about alkaline batteries?  You must either recycle them or ship them as hazardous waste. Disposing of these and a host of other items into the trash is illegal. At Your Door Special Collection^SM can tell you what items must be managed as regulated waste, how to manage them on site and we can collect them for recycling or disposal based upon both regulations and best management practices. If needed, we can set up the proper containers with labels for you and provide signs for storage locations and give you training materials so that you can train your employees and document that training.

At Your Door Special Collection^SM is a hazardous waste transporter and a state registered handler of Electronic waste. We are also a registered medical waste transporter and operate a medical waste transfer station.

Many cities and counties are contracted to At Your Door Special Collection^SM for the collection of household hazardous waste from homes. Because of these contracts and the high volume of universal waste materials generated in these programs, we can offer lower prices to small businesses for the collection and recycling of fluorescent tubes, batteries, aerosol cans, latex paint and electronics.

It may be time for you to consider one source for information and disposal and recycling management. For a free, on site review of your waste management practices, please call At Your Door Special Collection^SM 888-449-3733 ex 107
