Clean Harbors provides all aspects of Rail-Car Cleaning and Inspection, including the disposal of hazardous waste. 
 
Maintaining clean, safe rail-cars is essential to regulatory compliance and business performance. Clean Harbors provides turnkey rail-car cleaning at customer sites or at one of our waste management facilities, including:

  • Transportation to the rail-car cleaning facility
  • Mobile rail-car cleaning
  • Waste profiling
  • Transportation and disposal of waste in Company-owned facilities

Difficult to clean rail-cars―such as those with higher hazard contamination or hardened material―are our specialty. These may include PCB-contaminated rail-cars; rail-cars with hardened sludgy material; or rail-cars with higher hazard, off-spec chemicals.

Trained, Experienced Professionals

All of our crews are 40-hour trained and cross-trained in each aspect of rail-car cleaning, including:

  • Confined space entry
  • High pressure water training
  • Specific OSHA C substance training

This training and expertise reduces your liability and ensures safe, compliant rail-car cleaning.
