What are MXI's transport rates?

Our rates are always competitive.  For truckloads, rates vary depending on location of the waste and the facility it's being delivered to.  For less than truckloads (LTLs) there are distance and per drum rates and a 25 drum minimum.  For pick ups  less than 25 drums, there are pickup fees plus distance and per drum charges.  There may also be additional charges, depending
on waste volumes, if liftgates or additional equipment is required. To request
a rate quotation, click here, or call Tony Shiliro, at 732.424.8441, ext. 102.

Can MXI store my company's waste?

Yes.  We have a 10-day transfer permit that allows us to store hazardous and nonhazardous waste onsite at our Langhorne, PA, Abingdon, VA, Sumter, SC, and Fontana, CA facilities.  This allows many of our customers to consolidate wastes at our facility over a 10-day period for more cost effective shipment to disposal facilities.  This also helps generators stay within the 90-day waste holding period.
