Our service is our main concern, and our profits are derived from providing excellent service to our clients, not from disposal fees. Ocean Blue is not owned by, nor owns a TSDF, and does not have an agreement with any TSDF to exclusively deliver waste to a specific site. Since we are not limited to any specific TSDF, we can help our clients choose the disposal or recycling facilities that best fit their needs. Furthermore, we will always choose the most environmentally friendly solution whenever possible. In choosing an appropriate TSDF, Ocean Blue considers the following: • Client’s disposal requirements • Disposal facility compliance and financial stability • Disposal methods offered • Pricing • Facility inspection and audit results Over the years, the California Department of Toxic Substance Control closed many well-known hazardous waste disposal sites that later became EPA Superfund sites. Ocean Blue is very careful about inspecting every Treatment, Storage and Disposal facility (TSDF), and never sent any client-generated waste to these facilities. Although many fully-permitted TSDFs are based in Southern California, Ocean Blue maintains a preferred TSDF list, eliminating those with liability risks and questionable operating standards. Ocean Blue provides the most current computerized Hazardous Waste Tracking system. This system allows the client to track waste streams, profiles and quantities. This information helps the client in its State of California biennial reporting requirements, or in its Board of Equalization estimated taxes for hazardous waste generated. Record Keeping: Ocean Blue ensures proper documentation & security for all our clientele. All formal documentation—including bills of lading, manifests, invoices—are securely kept for a 3-year minimum. All manifesting and/or disposal paperwork will be properly recorded and sent to the appropriate regulating agency. Powered by Squarespace
