Transformer Services

Clean Harbors provides safe, cost-effective, environmentally sound recycling, retrofilling and disposal of transformers and electrical equipment, either onsite or at one of our transformer processing facilities.

Oil Filled Electrical Equipment Recycling and Disposal

Clean Harbors can operate as the customer’s onsite waste / asset management team.  Units are tested to determine PCB content as well as expected lifespan and segregated for reuse or disposal.  We can follow up this service with complete draining, loading, transportation and disposal capabilities.

Scrap Electrical Equipment Recycling

Clean Harbors offers a comprehensive Investment Recovery Program that provides our customers with revenue for their scrap, obsolete electrical equipment.  All recycling activities are managed in our permitted facilities.

PCB Transformer Recycling & Disposal

Equipment for disposal is shipped to a Clean Harbors facility for carcass destruction.  Transformers are segregated and sent to a smelter for resource recovery. 

PCB Oil and Chemical Destruction Services

Units can be drained at the customer’s site into drums, totes or tankers, or at a Clean Harbors facility.  Oils can go through our permitted dechlorination process.
