BUSINESS SERVICES : PROPRIETARY WASTE DISPOSAL Businesses and government agencies which need to dispose of confidential material or wastes can use SPSA's proprietary waste program. Proprietary waste is described as:
Through this program, organizations can be assured that their proprietary waste is completely destroyed in an environmentally sound manner. The waste is burned as fuel at SPSA's Power Plant. SPSA accepts only pre-approved proprietary waste. Once approval is granted and the material is delivered to SPSA's RDF Plant for processing, the business is then charged an appropriate disposal fee for its destruction. A certificate of destruction can be provided. Through the proprietary waste program, businesses are assured that their privacy is protected while minimizing any environmental liability which may occur if materials are landfilled rather than incinerated. For more information about this program or to receive an application, contact John Duke at (757) 393-3100. |
