Excel Industrial Group manages the hazardous waste transport and disposal for Houston-area industrial operations of all sizes. Below, we invite you to view our frequently asked questions regarding our chemical and hazardous waste transport and disposal services. Should you not see the type of information you need, we encourage you to reach out to us directly with your questions and concerns. 

Q. What is hazardous waste transportation, and who’s qualified to provide this type of service?

A. Hazardous waste transportation involves the transport of hazardous or chemical waste from an industrial facility to another facility that can either recycle, dispose, or store the waste. This transport can be completed via rail, water, or highway. A regulated hazardous waste transportation company such as Excel Industrial Group should handle it because we have the proper equipment and training to handle the waste safely. We’ll also ensure everything is done in compliance with all State and Government regulations. 

Q. Why should I entrust my hazardous waste transport and disposal to your company? 

A. We’ve made handling industrial and chemical waste management in the Houston area one of our specialties since 1997. You can depend on us to handle hazardous and non-hazardous waste in an environmentally safe and cost-effective manner. Our qualified transporters show up on time, every time, and offer customized transport and disposal solutions to meet your logistics needs. We’ll save you both time and money. Thanks to us, you don’t have to worry about the hassles or headaches of dealing with problematic waste materials from your industrial facility ever again! 

Q. What are the benefits of letting you handle my chemical waste management? 

A. What might look like a waste to others we see as potential revenue for your company. Some landfill materials can be diverted or recovered, while our chemical trading services help pair you with potential buyers to repurpose your chemicals instead of merely disposing of them. Our company can keep you compliant with all federal and state regulations regarding chemical and hazardous waste transport and disposal. 

Q. What type of transport vehicles do you use for hazardous waste transport and disposal?

A. Excel Industrial Group utilizes a large fleet to give us better flexibility when handling your hazardous waste transport and disposal needs. We use everything from pneumatic trucks, dump trucks, and end-dumps to rail cars, air movers, liquid vacuum trucks, tank trucks, box vans, dewatering boxes, and roll-off boxes. You can rest assured we’ll find the safest, most effective mode of transportation, recycling, and disposal for your facility’s hazardous or chemical waste.
