End-to-End Compliance and Disposal Solutions for Regulated Chemical Waste

For companies that work with chemicals, staying compliant with waste regulations is more than a best practice — it’s a legal obligation. At Higgins Environmental, we specialize in chemical waste management services that help Southern California businesses safely manage, store, transport, and dispose of regulated chemical waste. We support our clients in maintaining compliance with agencies like the EPA, DTSC, OSHA, and local CUPAs, and we handle everything from inventory and classification to final disposal.

Whether you’re a manufacturer, school, lab, or maintenance facility, we provide custom solutions that reduce your risk, protect your team, and ensure environmental compliance.

What Is Chemical Waste Management?

Chemical waste management involves the safe handling, storage, labeling, documentation, transportation, and disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous chemical byproducts. These chemicals may be reactive, flammable, corrosive, toxic, or otherwise regulated under environmental laws such as:

  • RCRA (Resource Conservation and Recovery Act)

  • TSCA (Toxic Substances Control Act)

  • CERCLA (Superfund Act)

  • California Title 22 Regulations

Higgins Environmental ensures your chemical waste stream is fully compliant — from the point of generation to final disposal — with cradle-to-grave tracking and full documentation.
