Chemical Waste Disposal
Licensed disposal companies managing hazardous chemical waste streams.
Market snapshot
These figures describe Industrial Waste Management (5.9.8), the segment that Chemical Waste Disposal sits within. They are not figures for Chemical Waste Disposal on its own.
Not sized here. Hazardous waste collection, treatment and disposal is counted under environmental services in natural resources, and repeating it would book the same work twice. What belongs to industrial services is the in-plant waste handling that manufacturers outsource alongside cleaning and turnaround work. That is a labor and compliance business rather than a landfill one, and it is priced accordingly.
