Establishments in this class typically operate facilities that treat, process, or dispose of nonhazardous waste materials — including compost operations, organic waste processing, and other treatment methods that fall outside landfilling, incineration, and sewer systems. Some operations also collect and haul waste locally before processing it at their own facility. Day-to-day activity may involve receiving waste loads, processing or treating material, managing leachate or runoff, and complying with environmental permit requirements.
Questions to investigate
- What specific types of waste are accepted, treated, or processed at the facility?
- Has the facility had any environmental violations, permit issues, or regulatory enforcement actions?
- Is there any known or suspected prior site contamination?
