USDA / APHIS Regulated Waste Disposal

Vessels arriving from foreign ports often generate waste that is regulated by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS). These materials require specialized handling and disposal procedures to prevent the introduction of foreign pests, diseases, and contaminants into the United States.

We coordinate the collection, transportation, and disposal of USDA/APHIS regulated waste, including food waste, galley waste, international catering waste, and other regulated materials generated aboard vessels engaged in international trade. Our team ensures that all regulated waste is handled in accordance with applicable USDA and APHIS requirements.
