Laboratory Chemical Cleanout

Thank you for taking the time to read this email. I’m an analytical chemist working with public schools for the past 40 plus years, Federal/State labs and various industries. I work with labs that have excess, expired, and hazardous chemicals that need removed. We are the sole source contractor under the Federal EPA, we offer a different approach dealing with laboratory chemicals. We offer a chemical redistribution service, it’s environmentally friendly and a cost-effective method for dealing with such issues. www.gtiofhouston.com

Per your request: I can send you a preset quote for public schools which is based on materials to be removed, mileage, labor, and required documentation. Then set up an appointment to conduct an on-site audit of compounds that pose immediate health risk, and items you do not want in your stock any longer.) Note: The quote given will be the total price charged, no carryovers. And these products are conditional except from the EPA hazardous waste regulations.

OUR PROMISE TO YOU! After completion, you will get an itemized inventory that was removed, if you can obtain a quote from any hazardous waste disposal company that’s less than I invoiced your facility, and they take the environmental liability (cradle to grave), in writing. I will give you your money back and keep the materials removed. I suggest to everyone to do this if you've never done disposal before, and you can feel good that you choose a service that’s environmentally friendly and you save your facility literally thousands of dollars.
