Petroleum Waste Recycling
Our mechanical oil extraction process recovers petroleum-based materials from absorbents and debris, achieving 95% resource recovery rates. Extracted oils get repurposed for fuel blending while residual solids convert to energy at EPA-certified facilities. This closed-loop system reduces landfill use by 80% while maintaining full compliance with RCRA regulations.
Universal Waste Recycling
We handle batteries, lamps, and electronics through our EPA-verified recycling channels. Our patented mail-back system includes pre-paid containers and chain-of-custody tracking, with 100% documentation for compliance reporting. Processed materials receive certified destruction verification for data security compliance.
