Damaged & Discarded Goods Management

Clean Harbors safely and routinely manages retail products that need to be discarded due to shelf life expiration or damages. Products include aerosol cans, laundry detergent, lighter fluids, ammunition, toys, cosmetics, perfumes, flammable goods, garden supplies, oils, engine fluids, and parts cleaners.  Our specialists collect, sort, package, manifest, transport and dispose of these products to prevent them from entering the consumer market.  If the retail store opts to package the damaged goods themselves, we can provide the packing materials, supplies and containers.

Clean Harbors’ network of treatment, storage and disposal facilities coupled with our logistical support, afford you to work with just one company to handle 100% of the collection and disposal of your unwanted consumer products.

Depending on your disposal requirements, Clean Harbors can provide landfill disposal for non-hazardous items at a lower cost than incineration.  We can provide product shredding service to ensure complete destruction of the products before landfill. We can also provide cost-effective incineration, fuel blending and aqueous treatment for both hazardous and non-hazardous consumer products.
