WHAT SETS WTS APART

The Difference Is How the Work Gets Done.

Managing regulated waste is not simply a matter of arranging transportation or selecting an outlet. Every stream must be properly characterized. Every shipment must be accurately documented. Every downstream provider must be qualified. Every recommendation must account for its operational, regulatory, financial, and environmental consequences. That attention to detail separates a service provider from a program partner.

Better programs are built one decision at a time.

CASE STUDIES

Proof, Not Promises.

View Case Studies

Off-Spec Arsenic Tanker

When an arsenic-bearing wastewater tanker began generating toxic NOx vapors and was refused by the disposal facility, WTS managed the transfer as a controlled chemical operation: no release, no injury, no environmental impact.

On-Site PFAS Treatment

Rather than transport more than 500,000 gallons of AFFF-contaminated water off-site, WTS piloted and scaled on-site GAC treatment: roughly 1 million gallons treated, ~99.93% waste reduction, and savings in the millions.

Caustic By-Product Reuse

A process change plus WTS's reuse network sent 239,145 lbs of recovered caustic back into production, eliminating a RCRA hazardous waste at the source.
