Universal Waste Products

HELPING TO DIVERT & CONSERVE

Universal waste products can contain toxic and harmful substances that are also precious materials and can be readily recycled. By segregating these materials and disposing of or recycling them through the proper means, we prevent unwanted environmental damage while extending their lifecycle. Lone Star Hazmat Response helps large industrial facilities and even communities properly dispose of universal waste products that contain toxic materials, ensuring they are diverted to the proper facilities for recycling and disposal.

Mercury Containing Items

Mercury-containing items like fluorescent light bulbs are toxic to the environment and to humans if improperly handled and disposed of. Long fluorescent light tubes are commonplace in large facilities, but disposal after use becomes a headache due to their size. Regulations for the disposal and recycling of mercury-containing items are in place to protect the environment and communities, meaning business owners and corporations are liable for compliance. Lone Star Hazmat Response can provide disposal services for businesses or corporations with mercury-containing items, or work with mercury containing products on a regular basis. We ensure proper containment and disposal according to EPA, as well as state and federal regulations.

Batteries

Batteries come in a variety of different forms and are prevalent in much of today’s technology. Often, single-use batteries and obsolete electronic equipment with built-in battery packs end up in the landfill and begin to leech toxic chemicals into the surrounding soil. Batteries also contain precious metals that have a great environmental impact due to the amount of effort required to extract them from the earth and process them into usable items. Due to these factors, Lone Star Hazmat Response provides communities and businesses with battery recycling support for a variety of different battery constructions, from NiCAD to Sulphuric Acid and Lithium Ion batteries. Let Lone Star Hazmat response help you contain, transport, and recycle batteries in an environmentally friendly manner.

Paint & Pesticides

Commonly used products such as paints and pesticides are often left with small amounts remaining and are placed in storage until it is time for disposal. These toxic products are harmful to the environment and should never be disposed of in our landfill or water system. Lone Star Hazmat Response supports businesses that use paint and pesticide products, as well as other chemical products on a regular basis dispose of leftover or expired materials, as well as hazardous material containers. By disposing of these solutions and containers through the proper channels, we do our part in protecting the environment and the community.
