We are capable of managing and transporting all waste from the smallest of containers to bulk. OMIES is dedicated to offering the most cost-effective, compliant and efficient meth-ods of waste management. Knowing that different customers have different needs, OMIES offers a wide variety of waste disposal and recycle options and services.From industrial services to oil spill and haz-mat response, we are able to wrap up each project with waste disposal, if needed. We collect representative waste samples to submit to accredited environmental laboratories for proper analysis as required by each of the select waste disposal facilities. The nature of the waste stream whether liquid or solid, hazardous or non-hazardous will determine which waste disposal facility OMIES will select as the final resting place for the waste. Whenever possible, recycling is the first and foremost option selected. OMIES will ship waste to a facility as designated by our client. If the client does not have a facility prefer-ence, we will select the facility which best suits the waste stream and the client’s best interest. As you know, the “cheapest” option is not always the best option. WASTE CHARACTERIZATION, PROFILING & TRANSPORTATIONProper waste characterization is achieved through a detailed review of information obtained from container labels, Material Safety Data Sheets as well as generator knowledge. OMIES utilizes accredited laboratories when analytical is required to properly classify waste for disposal. In cases where none of the above information is available and the material is truly unknown in nature, OMIES can sample the material and submit to a laboratory for unknown identification, therefore identifying key chemical constituents and hazardous and non-hazardous characteristics. CHEMICAL LAB PACK SERVICESOMIES provides a team of trained personnel that will inventory your five gallon and smaller containers, chemically sort, profile, pack-age, label, manifest and transport for proper disposal. When most think of waste management and disposal, they may picture a roll-off box, vacuum truck, or perhaps a truck load of drums. But what about all of the tiny little bottles on the shelf in the chemistry lab? What about the expired medications left behind in a pharmacy that has been closed for years? OMIES can take care of those issues as well. OMIES Waste Management and Disposal teams will inventory these tiny bottles, then, under the direction of a chemist, chemically sort and safely package them into larger pails and drums – lab packs – and properly dispose of the material. 24/7 Oil Spill Response . 24/7 Haz-Mat Response .

We strive to be the first call to provide safe, effective solutions utilizing our experienced personnel, and state of the art equipment and products.COMPRESSED GAS CYLINDER INDENTIFICATION & TRANSPORTATIONOMIES has years of experience working with regulatory agencies recovering orphaned containers and compressed gas cylinders. Our teams are trained in inspecting and sampling such containers in order to properly identify contents, then profile and dispose. Often times, gas cylinders can be rendered inert and recycled as scrap metal. This, of course, depends on the contents and type of cylinder which we are handling. UNIVERSAL WASTE MANAGEMENTOMIES Waste Management and Disposal Services participates in the Universal Waste Management Program whenever possible. The federal universal waste regulations include hazardous waste batteries, thermostats, pesticides, and lamps. In Texas, paint waste may also be managed as a universal waste. The Universal Waste program provides an alternative set of regulations that reduce the regulatory burden by allowing longer storage of these wastes and reduced recordkeeping. This program encourages the recycling of batteries, thermostats, pesticides and lamps.EPA FIELD SAMPLE METHODOLOGYOMIES has trained technicians capable of an array of environmental sampling. We have the capabilities and equipment to retrieve samples from drums, soil, pits, lagoons, tank trailers and the sort. Our staff will properly label all sample jars, as well as complete the chain of custody and properly preserve the samples for submittal to an accredited lab. We have extensive experience in evidentiary sampling, as well as sample collection for site assessments and waste characterization.UNKNOWN WASTE SAMPLE, IDENTIFICATION & DISPOSAL Often times, laboratory analysis is not necessary as we may be disposing of an unused product, paint, and an array of items which can be readily identified. Therefore, through generator and process knowledge, analysis may be omitted. This, of course, is at the discretion of the recycle or waste disposal facility. On the flip side, if the material is completely unknown, OMIES has a solution as well. We have technicians trained in EPA sample methodology that will wear the proper PPE and collect a 40 ml sample of the unknown substance. This sample is shipped to a laboratory that can qualitatively identify all components within the substance, as well as any hazardous characteristics the substance may exhibit. In essence, we are provided with all information required to properly profile and dispose of the waste and all for less than half the cost of a TCLP analysis. BIO-HAZARDOUS WASTE CLEAN-UP AND MANAGEMENTFrom time to time OMIES has been employed to assist with crime scene clean up and decontamination. Not always does this involve a crime scene – it may be the scene of an accident or any other event that results in the presence of bodily fluids for removal. OMIES’ job is to remove any sign of what happened at the location they have been employed to clean, and to deal with and any biohazards that result from such an incident. As US Federal regulations deem all bodily fluids to be biohazards, any blood or tissue at a crime scene is considered a potential source of infection.NORM SURVEY AND ASSESSMENT (NATURALLY OCCURRING RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS)OMIES has 40 hour trained Radiation Safety Officers on staff in Louisiana and Texas. We are capable of performing site assessments to include a full NORM survey of equipment and land (as well as collect soil samples) and provide all proper documentation to assist with licensing requirements if needed. OMIES also possesses a NORM Specific License in Louisiana. OMIES Radioactive Materials License, as issued by Louisiana DEQ, authorizes for the decontamination, remediation and maintenance of vessels, equipment, facili-ties, pits, soil and land as well as waste handling.
