Talos Hazardous Waste Disposal

we had a situation. couple of old radioactive sources from a decommissioned gauge that were sitting in a locked cabinet for years because nobody knew the right way to get rid of them. called around. most places either didnt handle sources at all or wanted to pass us off to a sub-contractor. Talos actually had a process for it. they walked our safety officer through the documentation we needed on our end, coordinated the transport licensing piece, and got the sources out of our facility. took a few weeks because of the paperwork involved which they were upfront about from day one. no surprises along the way, just steady updates. also took some low-level DAW we had been generating from another part of the operation on the same pickup which made the logistics easier

We run a commercial facility and had an issue with a stockpile of old corrosive liquids that had been sitting in a storage area for years. Previous management never dealt with it and it was becoming a liability concern. Our insurance carrier actually flagged it during an audit, so we needed to move on it fast. Talos was one of two companies we contacted and they were the quicker to respond with a detailed plan. They assessed what we had on-site, provided the correct waste classifications, and scheduled removal within about ten days. Their crew handled the packaging and transport and we had completed manifests in hand shortly after. The thing that mattered most to us was getting it done correctly from a regulatory standpoint, and they clearly had the experience to make sure everything was compliant.

We've been using Talos for about eight months now for our e-waste and battery disposal. We're a mid-size commercial operation so we have a pretty steady stream of the stuff and need regular pickups. Honestly the main reason we stick with them is they just do the job without making it complicated. Their team already knows what we typically accumulate so there's not a ton of back and forth every time we schedule. One thing I appreciate is they're responsive when we have questions about waste classification - we had a situation a couple months ago where we weren't sure about some items and they got back to us fast with clear guidance. Invoices are always what we expect too. Before Talos we went through a vendor that kept tacking on random charges and the documentation was always late. Having someone reliable for this stuff makes a real difference when you're trying to stay compliant without dedicating someone's whole day to managing it.
