Waste Directory "Yellow book"
The Waste Directory tells what to do with each waste type and lists vendors that will handle each. However, the directory does not list all potential vendors. Listing doesn't constitute an endorsement of the vendor. Protect yourself by making sure the vendors you hire are responsible. Mailing, email, and web addresses for vendors are provided in the Vendor Directory.
Choosing a vendor
Although you may rely on other companies to haul away and dispose of your waste, you are ultimately responsible for the waste from "cradle to grave." Choose your vendors carefully, considering reliability as well as cost.

The best vendor for you isn't necessarily the least expensive one. Don't trade short-term cost savings for long term liabilities. Look for vendors whose services match your needs.
