Non-Hazardous Industrial Burn Program

Pope/Douglas operates a convenient Non-Hazardous Industrial Burn program to assist businesses properly disposal of their non-hazardous industrial wastes to minimize environmental risk.

Non-hazardous industrial wastes are delivered at the Pope Douglas Waste to Energy Facility where they will be dumped for direct waste to energy incineration.

About 85% of the wastes sent to Pope Douglas are sent through the Material Recycling Facility (MRF) to extract certain items out for recycling or problem materials to reduce facility wear and tear. Non-hazardous industrial wastes are not regular everyday wastes and need to be handled separately to reduce wear and tear on the equipment of the Material Recycling Facility and other operational and environmental concerns.

Special Burns ONLY Accepted Wednesdays. No appointments on Tuesdays until major construction completed.
