Abandoned mines, oil fields, and industrial plants and facilities are more than simply eyesores. They pose significant environmental and human health risks from chemicals and hazardous materials that can contaminate soil and groundwater, poison vegetation, or harm people and wildlife. If a site is too hazardous for general construction crews to manage or reclaim, it’s necessary to seek expert site remediation services.
U.S. Waste Industries provides comprehensive services including site assessment, clearing, and remediation of ponds, abandoned mining and industrial sites, empty buildings, and other dangerous areas. Contact us as the first step in your demolition or remediation project to resolve site risks such as:
- Hazardous waste and contamination
- Physical safety concerns and dangerous structural conditions
- Groundwater and soil contamination
- Hazardous waste disposal concerns
What Is Site Remediation?
Site remediation is the process of identifying and removing general and hazardous waste, structures, equipment, and other waste materials that make a site unsuitable for use. The goal of site remediation is to restore an area to safe conditions so that it can be used for a new purpose without causing harm to the surrounding ecosystem or human health.
These services should be tailored to the location and its unique circumstances in order to mitigate risks and maximize reuse. Always look for a provider with the proper training and experience for your needs and goals.

We provide full-service hazardous waste site remediation services for end-to-end management to keep your staff, nearby residents, and the ecosystem safe. We will develop a customized, detailed plan for every site and project according to its unique requirements and local regulations.
Steps in U.S. Waste’s Site Assessment and Remediation Services
Our process centers on these steps:
- Consulting call. Property site owners can contact our team of experts for an initial discussion regarding the status of the site and an estimated project scope.
- On-site assessment. An on-site inspection is conducted prior to remediation work. Our staff has OSHA HAZWOPER training and will identify specific materials, hazards, and requirements needed to ensure safe handling, storage, transportation, and disposal. This includes an assessment of the site layout, its history (e.g., mining, petrochemical or chemical processing, wells), and an analysis of the type and extent of contamination present.
- Detailed review. We will provide an in-depth analysis of the waste or contaminants on the site and the steps required to bring it into compliance with applicable standards and regulations, based on the situation and intended use for the site.
- Finalize the project details. This includes plans for the specific work to be done, including structure demolition, equipment removal/sale, tank cleaning, trash and waste disposal, and other details.
Hazardous Waste Site Remediation
Sites with hazardous waste materials such as processing chemicals, toxic waste, biological waste, and organic buildup like mold and mildew all require additional precautions. U.S. Waste specializes in hazardous waste site remediation that involves steps beyond simply removing structures, equipment, and debris.
