Whether an incident at home or the jobsite has led to required remediation efforts or as part of a larger project to restore and expand your industrial capacity, when it comes to recovery and remediation projects that require heavy-duty cleanup, it’s time to bring in the heavy-duty machinery. From the types of projects to the earthmovers and training required to restore them, learn what’s required for hazardous waste excavation and offsite disposal.
Projects Requiring Hazardous Waste Excavation
Below are some of the most common situations that business owners and homeowners can find themselves in need of hazardous waste excavation and offsite disposal of materials.
Emergency & Residential Oil Spills
A common use case for excavation and hazardous waste disposal is during the remediation efforts following an oil spill. The location and nature of the spill will determine the type of equipment used, from contamination from roadway or industrial oil spills to dealing with heating oil spills at homes. Tracking the oil spill and removing all traces of contamination is key to getting these places back up and running.

Remediation & Disaster Recovery
The need for deep site remediation, including hazardous waste disposal, can come from many sources. This could be a brownfield that needs to be restored before the property can be put to use, or the site of an industrial disaster where fire, chemical spills, and other damage have released hazardous material into the soil, water, and surrounding environment.
Storage Tank Cleaning & Removal
Another project that often requires both excavation and remediation is the removal and disposal of storage tanks. Not only can this be due to a leaking tank that requires maintenance and cleaning, but also as part of tank removal, from tank excavation to preparing the tank for hazardous waste disposal. Both require the use of some of the heaviest machinery available.
The Equipment Needed for Excavation and Offsite Disposal
Once it becomes clear that your project is going to require hazardous waste excavation and disposal, it’s time to bring in the equipment and staff to do it quickly, efficiently, and safely. Our vehicle, equipment, and skill pool are deep for every situation and site:
- Earthmovers: From Bobcats for tight quarters to excavators and bulldozers for big projects, NEDT has access to both the equipment and the contractors needed.
- Vacuum Trucks: A requirement for both soil and liquid removal, our vacuum trucks can be found on most sites during site remediation.
- Trucks & Cranes: From moving debris to lifting storage tanks and other machinery in need of removal, we have dump trucks, flatbeds, and cranes for any sized removal and offsite disposal.
- Power & Pneumatic Tools: Inside industrial facilities and residential basements, sometimes nothing beats hand tools. Our staff is skilled with a wide range of tools, from simple shovels to concrete saws to jackhammers.
- Skilled Operators: Speaking of our staff, we pride ourselves on the training and safety of our staff to not only operate all this machinery but also to do so with safety, not only for themselves but also for the property and environment they operate in.
NEDT has been managing this machinery and these projects for over 30 years. Whether you’re looking at site remediations, chemical and oil spills, home heating oil cleanup, tank cleaning and removal, or disaster management and recovery, NEDT is here to help from step one.
