*Survey of ETC Member Companies. The prices shown above within a particular waste category (e.g., "Bulk Pumpable Sludges") represent a wide range (low to high) for various reasons. For example, wastes from different generators, and even from the same generator, may differ based on BTU value, halogen content, compatibility with other waste, and other factors that affect pricing. This survey reflects historical prices for treatment and disposal services, and should not be construed as price quotations. Transportation costs are not included. Survey conducted on sales between January 2004 and May, 2004. Prices for High, Low and Average are the average for those categories reported by each facility divided by the number of facilities.
