I work for a company called clean harbors that handles hazardous waste/recycling if that helps. Give them a call we're in almost every state so it shouldn't be a problem to get some help on the transformer disposal issue.

Hi Patricia!

 

PCB's (polychloronated biphenyls) are the big seepage product in old transformers.

Subject: [DCHAS-L] Transformer Disposal

 

Hello all,

I inherited a number of old transformers and related equipment (around 60 pieces) that I must now dispose of before they start leaking. Has anyone dealt with the disposal/decommissioning of transformers? They are not in their original locations. They are sitting in our boneyard at facilities.
