Return Goods & Consumer Products Management

Clean Harbors Return Goods and Consumer Product Disposal Services provide collection, packaging, and disposal of damaged, out-of-date, expired or recalled consumer products for the pharmaceutical and consumer products industry.  Our processing capabilities coupled with our logistical support, afford you to work with just one company to handle 100% of the transportation and disposal of your unwanted consumer products.

Damaged and Discarded Goods Management

Clean Harbors safely and routinely manages consumer products that need to be discarded due to shelf life expiration or damages.  Our specialists collect, sort, package, manifest, transport and dispose of these products to prevent them from reentering the consumer market.  If the retail store, distribution center or pharmacy opts to package the damaged goods themselves, we can provide the packing materials, supplies and containers.  Many leading consumer and personal care product companies consistently rely on Clean Harbors to effectively manage secure product destruction, protect their brand investments, and safely dispose of products such as consumer aerosols, soaps, cosmetics, perfumes, and nutritionals.

Depending on your disposal requirements, we can provide landfill disposal for non-hazardous items at a lower cost than incineration.  We can also provide cost-effective incineration, fuel blending and aqueous treatment for both hazardous and non-hazardous consumer products.

Recall Products Collection and Management

Clean Harbors collects and manages unsafe, hazardous or defective products that are being recalled or discontinued so they will not be misused or reenter the marketplace.  We collect, sort, package, manifest, transport and dispose of these waste products in compliance with local, state, provincial and federal regulations. If the retail store or pharmacy opts to package the recalled or discontinued products themselves, Clean Harbors can provide the packing materials, supplies and containers.

Shredding Services

Customers often generate hazardous and non-hazardous wastes that contain sensitive information, trade secrets, or packing and labeling which have their company name or trademark on them.  Clean Harbors’ shredding technology guarantees our customers that their waste products will be completely defaced prior to disposal and that they can not be pilfered, reused or resold once shredded.

Witness Destruction of Sensitive or Classified Material

Clean Harbors offers witness destruction services for sensitive, classified or high profile products.  From secure shipment through to final disposal, Clean Harbors has the necessary controls and processes for secure and complete destruction.  We also offer witness slot availability for those customers who do not want their non-saleable items to remain in inventory for any period of time and require immediate processing upon receipt.
