Hi Patricia,
If you haven't figured something out yet, I'd suggest sending in a contact request to Clean Harbors here: https://www.cleanharbors.com/services/technical-services/waste-disposal-services?cty=US&st=TX . They'll be able to direct you on what analysis needs to be done before acceptance of a waste, if you are unable to perform analysis on a sample, we will typically accept a sample through mail for acceptance analysis if necessary. TX A&M could already send wastes to a CH facility as we do process LabPacks so you may already have an account manager to talk to.
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.
