PA-jer Company

Hazardous Materials Disposal and Solid Waste Management

When the PA-jer Company manages a client's waste, they look at all the options available to manage the type of waste generated.  Some types of waste can be recycled (e.g., fluorescent lights), recovered (e.g., precious materials) or need to be disposed of.  The PA-jer Company looks to see if there are ways to reduce the amount of waste created or reduce the hazardous properties.  When the PA-jer Company takes on a client, it provides a review of each of the waste streams the client has for disposal:  looking at the constituents of each; the way they are being disposed; and where they are being disposed.  The reasons for reviewing these methods are to make sure the waste is handled properly and to consider a better way to handle the waste.

Please contact the PA-jer Company at (800) 348-7253 or (512) 869-7287 (Georgetown area).
