EI Hazardous and Universal Waste Facility Directory

Environmental Information Limited has provided the professional community with directories on waste facilities since 1983. It very first directory, Industrial& Hazardous Waste Disposal Firms, focused on the commercial hazardous waste industry. This directory, like its historical predecessor includes coverage of the full range of hazardous waste boilers and industrial furnaces, fuel blenders, industrial furnaces, landfills, metal recovery, solvent recovery, and other treatments in both Canada and the United States. This information is kept current as a result of EI continuing market research studies of the hazardous waste marketplace for the EI Digest.

During 2006, EI’s hazardous waste directory will be undergoing some significant improvements. Amongst the improvements will be the expansion of coverage to include facilities for universal wastes like batteries, electronic equipment, and mercury containing devices.

In addition, a new query form will be introduced. The online directory provides the option to search by:

• any specific type of facility
• national or state by state basis
• other types of waste accepted

Please visit our demonstration page to view a similar query form being used for the Chartwell directories on Envirobiz.com.

The result of a search of the updated online directory is a list of the names of the facilities matching the specified criteria. If numerous facilities match the selected criteria, the search results will be provided on multiple pages. Depending on the chosen criteria for the search, the user may have the option of alphabetizing the list by criteria other than the name of the facility.

Upon selecting a specific facility, the user is presented with the available information on the facility. The same standard facility profile is provided for each facility regardless of the search criteria.

Each search is done solely on the basis of selected criteria. No fee is charged to the facilities for being included in the directory. The inclusion of a specific facility does not constitute an endorsement of the facility nor is it intended to infer the facility is in compliance with all environmental rules and regulations. It is recommended that before using any facility, that further due diligence is done on the facility.

The Environmental Information researches these facilities by telephone and written surveys. The information about each facility in this directory relies upon the accuracy of the information provided by the facility. Likewise, the absence of information on a facility is an indication that the facility has chosen not to provide the information.
