June 11, 2019; Tradebe USA News: Chemical Waste Collection, Cleanup - Iowa and surrounding Midwest region of the US
Tradebe Responds to Flooded Areas in the Midwest to Assist with Hazardous Waste Removal, Chemical Waste Collection and Recycling...
Flooded areas in Iowa, the midwestern US and beyond have been inundated with rainfall that has not let up. Tradebe has been responding throughout these flooded areas for the last several weeks of May and now into June.
Tradebe's Disaster Emergency Response team is ready to continue moving into other counties and states as needed. As floodwaters recede and our teams are given the ok to respond and get into those areas - we remobilize and continue on with the cleanup and removal of hazardous waste, collecting chemical waste and other toxic materials.
Our crews responding to these flood areas include emergency response technicians, professional drivers and highly-trained chemists. The equipment mobilized includes tractor trailers, skid steers, service vans and also special all-terrain vechicles, ATVs. Tradebe's ATVs have allowed our crews to access alleys and other tight areas where our large fleet equipment cannot access making them priceless in these Disaster Response situations.
Sadly, the waste being collected is in such a large volume that it is being collected by the trailer-load in these flooded areas. However, the good news is that due to the fast response of everyone involved including the cooperation and support of the residents of these communities, we are able to safely remove these dangerous materials before they cause more damage and/or harm to the environment.
Materials that have been removed include paints, oils, chemical liquids, fertilizers, pesticides and other hazardous materials. The waste has been collected and segregated by Tradebe's crews then each was identified, categorized for best handling and then packaged for safe removal.
As Tradebe crews fill trailers with the hazardous waste removed from the flooded areas, the waste is then being transported to Tradebe's Treatment, Storage, Disposal Facility, (TSDF) in East Chicago, IN for Chemical Depacking and then final Treatment, Recycling or Disposal depending on the best environmental option for each type of waste collected.
