Our motto at New England Disposal Technologies is “Because Hazardous Waste Shouldn’t Be Difficult!” It’s the reason we were founded and also the reason behind this blog. Education about hazardous waste and related issues is as important as fixing them, so we thought we’d do both. This first post outlines what you can expect from this hazardous waste management blog, who it’s for, and additional educational resources and links to get you started—whether you’re a business, department, or even a homeowner.
What Is in This Blog?
Much like our name suggests, this blog will cover many topics related to disposal, running the gamut of everything from the reactive services of hazardous waste transportation and disposal to the proactive services of industrial maintenance and cleaning. Major categories include:
- Hazardous Waste Transportation & Disposal
- Tank Removal & Cleaning
- Industrial Maintenance & Cleaning
- Site Remediation
- Emergency Chemical & Oil Spill Response
- Disaster Management & Recovery
Who Is This Blog For?
Since our company serves a diverse range of clients, this blog will aim to do the same. Here at NEDT, we work with governmental departments on both the state and local levels, including individual townships; industrial corporations with large production sites; and enterprise-level businesses with hazardous waste disposal needs—just to name a few. If you have issues with hazardous waste, whether it’s producing it, cleaning it up, or preventing it, we can help in this blog and within New England states.
Massachusetts and Beyond
While we’re physically located in Massachusetts and have many existing programs geared towards local municipalities and residents, we offer many of these services throughout New England. Contact us to learn how we can help in your area.

Additional Resources About Hazardous Waste
With our stated goal of education about hazardous waste and related issues, we want to provide additional resources beyond this blog. Below are some useful links to state and federal resources as well as other parts of our websites.
- US Environmental Protection Agency – Hazardous Waste: The EPA’s rulings on hazardous waste are the underpinnings of state regulations. Learn more about program areas, regulations for specific wastes, and initiatives and special projects.
- MA Department of Environmental Protection – Hazardous Waste: Learn more about the regulations surrounding hazardous waste accumulation, labeling, transportation, and related fees. This webpage also includes resources for facilities and hazardous household products.
- MA Departments of Public Works & Boards of Health: We have dedicated pages for both DPWs and BOHs in Massachusetts to take advantage of our commercial and residential services and sign up for associated newsletters.
- MA’s Very Small Quality Generators (VSQG) Program: If your business produces only a little hazardous waste, you may qualify for the Massachusetts’ VSQG program, which allows you to transport your hazardous waste to our facility, saving on expensive transportation and labor costs.
We hope you’ll find this blog and all its regular posts helpful for navigating the world of hazardous waste and related topics like remediation, industrial cleaning, and chemical spill & emergency response. If you have any questions about our services or the assistance we can provide, please contact NEDT. We’ve been helping deal with hazardous waste since 1995 and would like to support you too.
