non-hazardous waste transfer and processing
Mile Rail manages a wide variety of non hazardous solid and liquid wastes in both bulk and non-bulk form. Once onsite, our team determines the best disposal solution in conjunction with the desires and preferences of our customers. In some cases solids are bulked while in other cases liquids and sludges are solidified and sent for final disposition within a secure Subtitle D landfill. We also actively pursue environmentally sound alternatives to landfill dumping by shipping waste to facilities that convert waste to electrical power, a process known as energy-from-waste (EfW) or waste-to-energy (WtE). Some examples of non-regulated wastes we process and transfer include:
- Water-based inks, pastes and glues, latex paints, glycols and adhesives
- Debris such as wood, filters, plastics and rags
