ECO-FIRST completes largest lab pack to date

ECO-FIRST employees and subcontractors recently completed the company’s largest and most complex laboratory packaging project to date by successfully assisting with the closure of a major Tennessee research laboratory.

The 7,800-plus item disposal project included the identification of more than 1,000 unknown chemical compounds, along with the safe and proper packaging, transportation and disposal/recycling of chemicals from each of the USDOT’s nine hazard classes of materials.

ECO-FIRST President Dana Tomes said the project took a team of seven employees a full week to complete.

“It is satisfying to see a project of this scale from concept to completion,” Tomes said. “Our team of associates and subcontractors worked seamlessly together to successfully close a facility which had a collection of chemicals on hand that had accumulated over several decades.”

Tomes said the wastes involved included everything from acids and low-level radioactive materials to former military explosives.
