The Client

A grocery store in Florida with a compactor area that had deteriorated into a serious environmental and health hazard. The EPA was involved. The situation required immediate action to avoid significant fines and potential closure.

The Challenge

The compactor area had become an environmental disgrace. Feces and human waste had accumulated behind the compactor from individuals who had been living there. The EPA was all over the location demanding immediate remediation.

Hiring a specialized EPA remediation company would have cost five to six thousand dollars. The grocery store needed the problem solved quickly and cost-effectively—without compromising on thoroughness or safety.

The Solution

Our team suited up in full protective gear—ghillie suits and masks—and handled the job ourselves. We bagged all debris, reclaimed all water, and used specialized chemicals to eliminate odors and sanitize the area completely.

We even addressed wildlife concerns by ensuring no toxic residue remained that could harm animals returning to the area. When we finished, the flat work was clean enough to eat off of. The smell was gone. The EPA concern was resolved.

The Results
  • EPA compliance issue fully resolved
  • Completed at power washing rates—not EPA remediation prices
  • All waste properly contained, removed, and disposed
  • Odor completely eliminated with specialized treatment
  • Awarded all of Florida for reactive compactor cleaning services

“Shocked that you did it yourselves and didn’t complain. Love the fact that you stepped outside the box and took care of the customer regardless of how nasty it looked.”
