Tri-states’ largest independent. 30+ years moving waste.
DOT-permitted transport for hazardous and non-hazardous waste — manifested, tracked, disposed at approved facilities. The same crews that respond to spills handle the resulting transport, so the chain of custody never breaks between site and landfill.
From spill to disposal. One vendor.
Most environmental contractors hand off to a third-party hauler when the cleanup is done. Our trucks pick up where our crews leave off — same company, same safety record, same chain of custody.
Hazardous, non-hazardous, manifested, transported.
Waste transport sounds simple until something goes wrong. A miscoded manifest. A driver without the right hazmat endorsement. A disposal facility that doesn’t accept the stream you sent. A chain-of-custody gap. Any one of those becomes an EPA notice of violation, a generator’s regulatory headache, and a delay in closing out the project.
Quick Response has been hauling regulated waste for 30+ years — long enough that the documentation, the disposal-facility relationships, and the operational discipline are second nature. We’re DOT-permitted for hazardous and non-hazardous, our drivers carry the appropriate endorsements, and our manifests come back from the disposal facility on time, every time.
We’re proud to be the tri-states’ largest independent waste transporter — meaning decisions about routing, equipment, and customer issues happen locally, not at corporate. Generators get a real human on the phone, not a national 800-number queue.
Streams we handle.
The full spectrum of regulated and non-regulated waste, by waste type and by container:
- RCRA hazardous waste — D, F, K, P, U codes; characteristic and listed
- Non-hazardous industrial waste — process residues, cleanup waste, contaminated soil
- Bulk liquids — water, slurry, used oil, process fluids, industrial wastewater
- Sludge transport — wastewater treatment, industrial, oilfield
- Drums & totes — DOT-spec containers, lab packs, mixed loads
- Roll-off & bulk solids — debris, contaminated material, demolition waste
- Specialty waste — universal waste, e-waste, asbestos (with proper documentation)
- Spill cleanup waste — direct from incident site to disposal, no handoff
What our fleet supports.
Equipment, certifications, and operational reach:
- DOT-permitted fleet for hazardous and non-hazardous transport
- HAZMAT-endorsed CDL drivers — current on regulatory training
- Manifesting & e-Manifest compliance — full chain-of-custody documentation
- Bulk tankers, vacuum tankers, roll-offs, dump trailers
- Most U.S. states — interstate authority for cross-state hauling
- Approved disposal facility network — landfills, incinerators, treatment, recycling
- OSHA Hazwoper trained drivers — meet generator-site safety requirements
- $2 million general liability + cargo coverage
Why generators consolidate to us.
Most generators have a primary national hauler (Clean Harbors, Veolia, Stericycle, US Ecology) and a regional independent — and the regional independent gets the loyal, repeat business when they prove they can be trusted. That’s where we fit:
What you get with Quick Response
- Tri-states’ largest independent — biggest regional capacity that isn’t part of a national chain
- Spill response + transport in one vendor — chain of custody starts and ends with us
- Real-human dispatch — no 800-number routing, no escalation queues
- 30+ years of clean manifests — documentation that stands up to EPA and state inspections
- Local routing decisions — when the disposal facility goes down, we reroute fast
- Pricing that holds — independent cost structure means we don’t surge-price during emergencies
Most U.S. states. Tri-state heart.
Our base of operations is Greenup, Kentucky, with our densest activity across Kentucky, Ohio, West Virginia, and into Indiana, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Tennessee. For interstate hauling we operate across most of the lower 48 — call to confirm specific state authority and scope before contracting.
30+ years of clean manifests.
Independent, DOT-permitted, and ready to handle your waste streams.
