Hazardous Waste

Hazardous waste can be generated by medical facilities, construction projects, manufacturing operations, and a host of other activities. Few organizations have the resources and knowledge of hazardous waste management to address waste issues generated by the business, renovation projects, and medical procedures. IEA staff can identify, evaluate, and recommend a correct waste disposal method. We arrange for removal and disposal by a licensed waste hauler or disposal facility and manage all issues related to hazardous material so that the client remains free to operate the business, agency, or medical facility.

Failure to comply with regulations leaves organizations vulnerable to civil and criminal charges. Legal action damages reputations and diverts resources needed elsewhere.
