PCI, through its Technical Field Services division, is one of the largest on-site providers of community based household hazardous waste collection programs in the nation.

The depth of the trained staff at PCI allows us to manage multiple collection sites in a given weekend. Normally, PCI contracts with local solid waste management districts to offer a program that allows local citizens to drop off used paints, solvents, aerosol cans and other household items that can be disposed of in PCI's waste management programs.

Once household waste has been properly packaged, it is shipped to a PCI facility where it is depacked on one of our modular tasking areas. Each of our four booths is designed to handle a specific variety of waste.

Approximately 80% of the wastes collected from these programs are processed through our shedders. The resulting product is used as fuel in cement kilns.

PCI's on-site personnel will manage the program in conjunction with local environmental officials. During a typical household project, PCI will work with local officials to select a location which is suitable for the collection with traffic lanes, receiving stations, depack stations, safety equipment, spill containment and emergency procedures. In addition to managing household collection programs, PCI is also one of the nation's largest processors of household collection waste. PCI has contracts with several service groups who manage household programs throughout North America. The combination of PCI's lab pack operations and automated shredding towers make PCI a viable choice for both municipalities and service groups involved in the waste disposal selection process.
