San Joaquin County Hazardous Waste Collections The services of PHILIP ENVIRONMENTAL range from petroleum tank clean-ups, oil spill clean-up and site remediation to labpack services and household waste collections. Hazardous waste that PHILIP ENVIRONMENTAL collects from its contracted projects is usually transported by Resource Recovery Corporation (A PHILIP ENVIRONMENTAL subsidiary) back to one of our treatment, storage and disposal facilities, where the final disposal for the waste stream is determined. Methods of disposal include beneficial reuse, incineration, recycling and landfill. Over the last eight years, PHILIP ENVIRONMENTAL (formerly CHEMPRO) has been involved in weekend round -ups of homeowner an d,agricultural waste. These events have taken place in such locations as the San JuanIsl`ands, Spokane, Tri -cities, Corvallis, Portland, Seattle, and Northern California, including Marin, Yolo, San Joaquin amd Alameda counties. PHILIP ENVIRONMENTAL currently operates the King County Hazardous Wastemobile. The Wastemobile is a mobile facility that moves to a different location in King County every two weeks. PHILIP's goal in participating in these types of events is to reduce the amount of household hazardous waste (HHW) being sent to solid waste landfill, and to reuse and recycle as much of this waste as possible. In this San Joaquin County Hazardous Waste program, PHILIP ENVIRONMENTAL is contracted to coordinate and execute HHW and CESQG events for the County. PHILIP ENVIRONMENTAL will organize and staff the events and dispose of the waste in accordance with State and EPA regulations. The San Joaquin County Department of Public Works serves as the administrator of this program.This work plan explains how PHILIP ENVIRONMENTAL will set-up and control the operation, implement the health and safety plan, and respond in emergency situations.
