Federal and State EPA Laws (RCRA, CERCLA) make generators
responsible from cradle to grave for the proper disposal of the
product they generate. Violations or misconduct can lead to prison
for those who circumvent the law. Corporations cannot protect
individuals who evade legal disposal of their generated waste
streams. (See NORA Information Below and
More Articles About
Generator Responsibility)
There are currently 57 Superfund cleanup sites in Illinois which
are being paid for by the generators whose waste streams wound up at
contaminated sites. (The articles below illustrate how serious this
liability can become for the generator.) For your protection it is
vital that you choose a special waste hauler who provides
documentation that your special waste stream is non-hazardous and is
not mixed with any hazardous materials which would cause it to be
considered hazardous. You should also know your product's final
destination.
Excel Oil Service protects you with a clear paperwork trail and
our outstanding testing program. A waste stream receipt is left
with each pickup which attests to the above and to the complete
incineration of your waste stream in industrial boilers. This serves
as your proof that you have disposed of your special waste in a way
that is completely environmentally compliant. In Excel's 30 years of
business not a single generator has experienced environmental
compliance problems due to our actions.
