Environmental Benefits:
Since the 55-gallon drums were not reusable and could not be recycled because they contained a resin-based concrete cure, we were able to eliminate the disposal of approximately 100 drums per year into the local landfills. The disposal of the compound residue in the drums had to be handled separately and placed in injection wells. Both these processes were eliminated.
