TACOMA, WASHINGTON
HWD handles industrial hazardous waste for Tacoma and Pierce County, from the Port of Tacoma and the Tideflats to Fife, Puyallup and Lakewood. Manufacturers, port and logistics operations, shipyards and contractors, from a few drums to bulk vacuum-tanker loads.
We do not service household hazardous or non-hazardous waste. Businesses, institutions and government facilities only.
HAZARDOUS WASTE DISPOSAL IN TACOMA, WA
Built for Tacoma-Scale Jobs
Tacoma generators don't have a shelf of bottles. They have tanks, sumps, pits, totes on pallets, and yards full of drums that have been there since the last owner. We handle that scale directly instead of piecing it together from one small container at a time. Whether it's one tank cleanout or a yard full of legacy drums, the same crew handles sampling, packaging, transport and disposal paperwork, so you get one invoice and one set of manifests for the whole job.
Bulk Liquids and Tanker Service
Vacuum trailers and 70- and 120-barrel tankers with operators for sumps, tanks, pits and process liquids. Industrial wastewater to permitted water treatment, oily water, spec and off-spec oils, glycols, and tank washes when the vessel needs to come back clean.
Bulk Solids, Rolloffs and Stabilization
Rolloffs with liners and tarps for contaminated soil and debris, characteristic solids and semi-solids to stabilization, and non-regulated solids direct to a permitted landfill, documented the same way as a hazardous load. Frac tanks, poly tanks and containment for projects that need staging.
Fuel Blending and Energy Recovery
Flammable liquids, paint-related material, solvents and burnable debris profiled for fuel blending instead of incineration where BTU content, halogens and sludge fraction allow. A common outlet for marine coatings, shop solvents and off-spec fuels.
Metal Finishing, Marine and Fabrication
Concentrated acids and bases in drums and totes, plating rinse waters and sludges, blast media, cutting fluids and coolant, and the paint and coatings streams that come off shipyard and fabrication work. Confined space tank entries and decon support when the job needs them.
Analytical and Designation
Washington lets a generator designate by book or by testing. For bulk and mixed streams we run what's needed, including RCRA 8 metals, total VOC, semi-volatiles, flash point, pH, halogen screening and fish bioassay for state-only toxicity under WAC 173-303, so the profile holds up and the receiving facility doesn't re-classify your load.
Scheduling
We stage mobilization for Tacoma locally. Multi-day projects are staffed with chemists, supervisors and drivers as the scope requires, with overtime and weekend work scheduled when production can't stop. Most Tideflats jobs start with a site walk so the right equipment shows up on day one and nothing sits in the yard waiting on paperwork.
PIERCE COUNTY
Hazardous Waste Disposal
The Tideflats and the Port of Tacoma are home to chemical distributors, rail yards, shipbuilders and manufacturers, and the waste they generate needs experienced handling. We also serve the industrial parks along I-5 and SR 167.
Shipyards and marine contractors on the waterways generate spent blast media, bilge and oily water, antifouling paint waste and solvent rags. Rail and logistics yards produce used oil, glycols and fuel-soaked absorbents, and manufacturers in Fife and Frederickson add metal finishing and coatings streams. We profile each stream once and carry it forward, so repeat pickups don't start from scratch.
Recent work across the South Sound includes jobsite cleanouts for general contractors, drum pickups for aerospace and manufacturing shops, and lab chemical pickups for a state agency. For larger Puget Sound projects we offer rail transport for bulk waste, along with vacuum tankers, dump trucks and roll-off boxes.
TACOMA AND
THE SOUTH SOUND
Getting a Tacoma quote: send photos of the tanks, drums or yard, an SDS or old manifest if you have one, and rough volumes. For bulk jobs we walk the site first so the tanker, rolloff or crew size is right the first time.
HWD serves businesses across the South Sound, including Fife, Puyallup, Lakewood, Sumner, Gig Harbor, Federal Way and Olympia. We handle the paperwork, packaging and transportation so your waste is managed compliantly from pickup to final disposal. North up the valley we also cover Kent, and statewide see Washington hazardous waste disposal.
