Residual Waste
Residual Waste (RW) consists of non-hazardous waste commonly generated by manufacturing and industrial facilities. Subject to facility approval, RW may be accepted in both liquid and solid forms.
Wastewater associated with natural gas development and related infrastructure cannot be directly disposed of in a landfill. However, as authorized under our permit, we can temporarily store contaminated soils and debris while required analysis and Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) approvals are pending.
This process allows you to quickly and safely remove bulky spill-related materials, helping you return to normal operations with confidence that the waste has been properly managed and handled in accordance with applicable regulations.
If you are unsure whether any items you need to dispose of are acceptable, we encourage you to contact us for clarification.

As the natural gas industry progresses in the northeast region, regulations continue to evolve regarding proper handling of wastes generated from the storage and cleanout of oil & gas wastewater tanks. We are permitted to accept all PADEP 800-series Residual Waste Codes including sludge, tank clean-outs and industrial production fluids. Our experienced team will work to find the most cost-efficient solution to handling this waste stream in compliance with the latest state and federal guidance.
Types of Liquid Waste Include:
- Antifreeze
- Compressor oils
- Drilling fluids
- Glycols
- Lubricating oils
- Process wastewaters
- Produced fluids
- Servicing fluids
- Waste Oil
Our processing pit is fully contained by a 40-mil liner and equipped with an engineered leak detection system. This system allows approved, non-hazardous liquid wastes to be safely transferred and solidified before being transported to an off-site facility for disposal.
