Testing of soil, sludge, solid waste or material by a NELAC / VELAP certified laboratory using EPA approved methods.

UNSPSC 77141700 Soil or sludge or solid waste testing, Class code, encompasses on-site and off-site treatment, transportation, and disposal of waste streams generated by municipal, county, state, and utility operations—including grease trap waste, septage, biosolids, leachate, hazardous and non-hazardous liquid waste, medical waste, asbestos, and debris from disaster response and remediation activities. State and local governments procure these services across water utilities, solid waste management programs, environmental departments, fire services, and emergency management functions to comply with EPA, state environmental protection, and OSHA regulations while managing disposal at permitted facilities.
