Knight Division TacticalDoes KDT handle hazardous waste packaging, transport and disposal?
Hazardous Waste Packaging, Transport & Disposal
Yes.
KDT provides hazardous waste packaging, transport and disposal, from sampling and profiling through drums, roll-offs and manifests to transport by licensed haulers as required and disposal at permitted facilities.
Typical configuration
- Drums
- 55 gal steel or poly drums; 85–95 gal overpacks for damaged drums
- Totes
- IBC totes, about 275–330 gal
- Bulk solids
- Roll-off boxes, typically 20–40 cu yd; lined vac boxes for sludge
- Bulk liquids
- Vac trucks and frac tanks to the disposal facility
- Paperwork
- Waste profiles, EPA hazardous waste manifests, DOT shipping papers
- Transport
- Licensed haulers and DOT-compliant vehicles as the waste requires
A spill or release produces a lot of waste: recovered oil, oily water, contaminated soil, used sorbents and PPE, decon water and debris. Each stream has to be kept separate, characterized, packaged in the right containers, labeled, manifested and moved to a facility permitted to take it. Get any step wrong and the cleanup becomes its own compliance problem.
KDT runs the waste side of the incident. We set up waste staging areas, segregate streams at the source, arrange sampling and profiling, and package waste in DOT-spec drums, overpacks, totes, roll-off boxes and vac boxes. Manifests and shipping papers are prepared for the generator's signature, transport is by licensed haulers as required, and waste goes to permitted treatment, storage, disposal or recycling facilities.
We track every container and load from staging to final disposal, so the generator and the Unified Command have a complete record when the incident closes.

Questions, answered.
Does KDT handle hazardous waste packaging, transport and disposal?
Yes. We manage waste from staging and packaging through profiling, manifests, transport by licensed haulers as required and disposal at permitted facilities.
Who is responsible for the waste?
The generator, usually the responsible party, keeps legal responsibility for its waste. We do the work and prepare the paperwork for the generator's signature, and we document every load.
Can recovered oil be recycled instead of disposed of?
Often, yes. Recovered oil and some oily water can go to recyclers if it meets their specs. We look for recycling first where the waste allows it.
Why keep waste streams separate?
Mixing a small amount of hazardous waste into a large non-hazardous stream can make the whole lot hazardous and much more expensive to dispose of. Segregating at the source keeps costs and liability down.
