Construction sites, warehouses, and other industrial sectors may frequently produce one or more types of hazardous waste that will need to be regularly removed. Other sectors such as the healthcare sector may frequently produce pathological waste. Learning what type of waste your business produces will help you get a better understanding of the type of waste management your business needs. If you aren't sure what services you could benefit from, contact the experts at Panda Environmental today!
Even if your business does not produce more 'obvious' types of hazardous waste (such as bio-medical waste or severely toxic waste), almost all businesses produce some materials that are considered toxic waste. These common materials include:
Because nearly all businesses produce some amount of hazardous waste, it is important to consult with the professionals to ensure all waste is properly disposed of - even if all the hazardous waste your produce is some old electronics or batteries!

We offer flexible pick-up schedules to work with your particular needs, as well as one-off services. Whether you own a small retail business or a large construction company, we have the solutions that are right for you! For the most common types of industrial and hazardous waste, we have two types of disposal trucks - our vacuum trucks and our drum trucks. Learn more about our solutions below!
Vacuum trucks are a large type of waste management truck used to pump out hazardous and liquid waste. The waste is often removed from areas such as basins. Vacuum trucks are frequently used in the industrial sector, but can also be used for residential and commercial sewage and other hazardous waste disposal. Vacuum trucks can be used for a wide variety of purposes, including:
Not sure if you could benefit from a vacuum truck? Industries that may need to use vacuum trucks on a regular basis include chemical plants, shipyards, oil refineries and energy plants, steel or aluminum plants, and many other types of industrial companies.
Panda's Drum Truck services provide clients with an alternative to pumping out material from drums and totes. Drum truck services are used for hazardous and liquid waste removal, but also for other types of hazardous waste, such as batteries or fluorescent tube and lighting recycling. Because of this, drum trucks are ideal for industries such as retail that may only produce small amounts of hazardous waste.

In Ontario, there are laws that govern how businesses and corporations must dispose of their waste, including industrial hazardous waste. Regulation 347 under the Environmental Protection Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. E.19 provides the rules and regulations for legal and safe disposal of waste. These regulations and laws include how businesses must handle their hazardous waste.
Businesses and companies must ensure their hazardous waste is properly disposed of in order to comply with Ontario law. If you do not follow these laws and illegally dump hazardous waste or dispose of it improperly, you may end up facing legal consequences and being charged with a crime. In many locations in Ontario, businesses are responsible for finding their own hazardous waste disposal solutions (along with weekly or bi-weekly curbside pickup of regular garbage, recycling, and compost).
With this mind, how can companies comply with the many regulations regarding not only hazardous waste, but also garbage and organic waste? Working with a professional waste management company that has the tools and equipment to safely and effectively dispose of your hazardous waste is the best way to comply with the laws. A waste management company will know all there is to know about Ontario hazardous waste laws and will ensure your business complies with each and every one!
