Hazardous Waste
Treatment
and Disposal

If you want to protect the environment and ensure compliance with all regulations, trust your hazardous waste treatment and disposal needs to Peoria Disposal Company.

Disposal
Not only do we have the facilities, equipment and knowledge; we have a policy of strict compliance and conservative management. Our hazardous waste landfill facility, located outside Peoria, Illinois, employs extensive protective measures.

To protect against groundwater contamination and other forms of environmental harm, the facility uses five liners (two more than the industry requires) and five shallow collection wells, as well as other leachate collection and detection systems.

The facility itself is also well protected. Rigid gate control procedures, 24-hour security surveillance, a six-foot-high perimeter fence and 100% sampling of containers ensure no unauthorized materials are deposited.

Our strict acceptance criteria help us stay ahead of agency rulings, and our commitment to compliance has earned us the Environmental Industry (EI) Digest Environmental Compliance Award, for more than ten years running.

Stabilization Most hazardous materials must be treated before disposal. At our hazardous waste landfill, contamination is reduced to levels lower than those allowed in local solid waste landfills. Our on-site, fully permitted stabilization facility—one of the few with a Part B permit—uses specialized chemical and treatment techniques to stabilize up to 400 tons of waste each day.

We follow a specific treatment regimen for each type of permitted waste, and we can develop customized treatments to meet the specific requirements of difficult waste streams.

Reagents are used to chemically and physically bind hazardous waste constituents. Then the waste is kept in a secure curing area before it is disposed of in our facility or another permitted facility.
