$115,354.00
Refuse Disposal Fund
CONSENT AGENDA
Action Item
Potentially harmful materials are often stockpiled in basements, garages, closets, and other
storage areas as they require increased attention to dispose of and cannot be part of curbside
collection. Recognizing the need for environmentally sound management of such waste, the
Village Board supported hosting household hazardous waste collection events for Mount
Prospect residents only in the past.
The Village hosted fourteen successful appointment only household hazardous collection
events from 2019 to 2025 (2 each year). Over 5,800 Mount Prospect households have
participated in these hazardous waste collection events.
Reauest for Prouosals (111713s)
Staff solicited proposals from five environmental companies to provide OSHA/Hazardous
(HazMat) trained personnel to support the operation of two, one -day HHW collections in Mount
Prospect. The trained personnel provide the segregation, packing, disposal, and transportation
of household hazardous wastes (HHW) in accordance with Illinois Environmental Protection
Agency standards/guidelines.
RFP Results
One proposal was received. The sole submittal was from Tradebe Environmental Services, LLC
of Merrillville, Indiana. A copy of Tradebe's submittal is attached.
Tradebe's proposal provided ample references for successful similar events. All reference
checks indicate the firm performed well. Tradebe has over thirty years of experience in the
collection, treatment, recycling, and disposal of hazardous and non -hazardous waste.
Tradebe has successfully provided logistics, material handling, and disposal for all fourteen of
the Village's HHW events held to date. They provided ample resources, well -trained staff, and
organized operations. It is the opinion of staff that Tradebe is qualified to provide the
requested services.
Pursuant to the Request for Proposals, Tradebe's proposal included a cost submittal identifying
fixed and variable costs.
Fixed Costs include costs associated with the estimated volume of cars, equipment, supplies,
personnel, setup, operations, transportation, and non -hazardous waste disposal (packaging,
empty containers from participants, waste from event operations). Table 1 illustrates fixed
costs for a single, one -day event. Staff has provided fixed costs incurred in 2025 for
comparison.

Discussion
The last row of Table 2 summarizes the total fixed and variable costs incurred in 2025 and
projected for 2026, reflecting a 1.49% decrease overall.
Staff contacted the other RFP recipients to inquire why they did not submit a proposal.
Following are summary comments from respondents:
• R3 Environmental: Per conversation with Mr. Kolmar, R3 is unable to participate due to
a staff shortage, but is hoping to be in better shape next year.
• Republic Services (Formerly US Ecology): "We absolutely appreciate the opportunity
and, unfortunately, will not be bidding on this service this year. We are working hard to
ramp up our services and support these types of activities in Chicagoland and hope to
be in a better position for the next contract release".
• Veolia: No response.
• CleanEarth: "CleanEarth will not be bidding for this HHW RFP."
Overall, personnel and resource availability continue to present challenges for many firms in
the industry. These challenges appear to have a limited impact on competition. In addition,
Republic Services' acquisition of US Ecology has further reduced competition in this market.
Combined with Tradebe's proven record of successfully delivering this event at a low cost,
these factors likely limited interest from other vendors. Staff finds it unlikely that re -bidding
the project would generate greater vendor interest or result in lower prices.
Staff proposed two HHW events to be held at the Public Works Facility in 2026. The anticipated
cost of two events is $94,934. However, costs will vary depending upon the types and
quantities of waste collected. Therefore, staff recommends increasing the contract award to
the budgeted amount for this activity ($115,354) to provide a small contingency to
accommodate quantity variances.
Alternatives
1. Accept Tradebe Environmental Services, LLC, proposal to host household hazardous
waste collection events.
2. Action at discretion of the Village Board.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Village Board accept the proposal for the 2026 Household
Hazardous Waste Collection Events as submitted by Tradebe Environmental Services, LLC, of
Merrillville, Indiana for an amount not to exceed $115,354.

RE: 2026 Household Hazardous Waste Collection
Dear Ms. Jakupovic:
Tradebe Environmental Services, LLC (Tradebe) is pleased to submit this proposal to provide Household
Hazardous Waste Collections, Recycling and Disposal for the Village of Mount Prospect.
We realize that the primary goal of these collections is to reduce the amount of hazardous waste discarded from
homes. The potential for ground and surface water contamination, damage to solid waste and wastewater
treatment operations, and injury to sanitation workers exist if these materials remain in municipal refuse. We
have a shared understanding of the importance that these collections have in the protection of individual health,
health of the environment, and the well-being of the community as a whole.
Tradebe understands that the successful Contractor will provide qualified personnel, supplies, and equipment to
provide for the transportation and disposal of household hazardous waste and other support for the Village.
Tradebe has been in the waste industry for over forty (40) years, and through its Technical Services Division is
one of the largest on -site providers of community -based household hazardous waste collection programs in the
nation. In addition to managing household collection programs, we are also one of the nation's largest processors
of household collection waste. If awarded the contract, Tradebe has the knowledge and experience to perform
these services in full compliance with all EPA regulations and any other applicable Federal and State laws.
Tradebe has enjoyed servicing the Village of Mount Prospect over the past several years and feels it is the best -
positioned environmental services company that can provide the Village with the most responsible, compliant,
cost-effective, and environmentally friendly waste management services. Our devotion to customer service and
our commitment to maintaining the highest ethical and professional standards make us stand out from our
competitors.
We look forward to continuing a close relationship based on the safe and successful management of your waste.
Sincerely,
Zach Taylor
Proposal Manager

C. Tradebe Work Plan
Tradebe will furnish all the labor, packing, transportation and disposal needs required by the Village under the
requirements and Scope of Work requested in the RFP. Tradebe's trained chemists and lab pack technicians
will be present during the HHW collection day to fulfill all of the segregating and packing duties. Tradebe Is
Technical Service Specialist will work with the town's designated coordinator to develop final plans for each
event. For regulatory purposes, Tradebe will assume generator status for the collected HHW and will be
responsible for waste from the time of collection until said waste is properly disposed of at our facility. Tradebe
already has the necessary permits and licenses to fulfill this purpose. On the day of the HHW event, Tradebe
will secure and remove all material by the end of the day.
For each one -day collection event, Tradebe will provide personal to prepare the site, screen residents, unload
vehicles, segregate waste, and package all waste to be transported offsite. Staff will arrive one (1) hour before
the start of the event in order to begin set up.
Tradebe understands that the Village will provide the following services for the HHW collection event:
• Security for the site;
• Control of traffic;
• Screening of participants;
• Stand-by fire, medical, and hazmat emergency crews;
• Comfort facilities for all on -site workers;
• Advertising for the event
Below is a diagram that illustrates how Tradebe will typically set up a site for an HHW collection event
depending on the geography of the location. Over the years, we have learned this to be the most safe and
efficient method in order to serve participants attending the events. The Project Manager along with Village
personnel will adapt setup as needed to best serve participants while keeping everyone safe.

Tradebe will work to safely and efficiently unload the participants' vehicles in a friendly and professional manner.
Tradebe's on -site personnel will have a clear understanding of hazardous chemicals and will be able to answer
questions from residents.
As the vehicle pulls into the unloading lane, the participant will be asked to put their car in the park position and
remain in the vehicle. The unloader(s) will inspect the load for any leaking containers or unacceptable material
and notify the customer if any are found. If any potentially dangerous items (i.e. explosive, radioactive, and bio
hazardous) are discovered, a chemist will be called over to inspect the material and determine the best course
of action.
The unloader(s) will then carefully remove all acceptable material and place it on a plastic cart. If a waste item
is determined to be too heavy or large for the unloading cart, the unloader(s) will request that a drum cart or
forklift be used to transport the waste item to the appropriate workstation. The chemist will segregate and help
pack waste that is collected. Any lab pack material (items requiring special attention) will be packed by a qualified
chemist.
Tradebe will ask that the participant identify any unlabeled material found in the vehicle. This information will
immediately be written on the container with a permanent marker. If it cannot be identified, the material will be
taken to the screening area for analysis.

Tradebe will be able to bulk on -site used oils, antifreeze, and flammable liquids into 55-gallon drums. A bulking
station will be set up away from the receiving area where cars will be coming through. The bulking stations will
be setup on spill pads and will be grounded in order to avoid any static electricity sparks from generating. A
spill response kit containing a shovel and Oil -Dry will be on hand in case of any accidental spill. Based on our
experience at hundreds of HHW events, bulking of oil -based paint in cans and latex paint in cans is
counterproductive and not an efficient use of labor resources due to the non -pourable nature of most oil -based
paint and latex paint in cans which are typically brought to HHW events.

The collection site will be divided into several areas. A segregation station will be set up with tables covered with
plastic. Empty waste containers will be arranged a few feet behind the segregation tables. Tradebe's fully trained
field chemist will manage this workstation. Tradebe's chemists will examine the labels of the individual containers
to determine the list of chemical constituents and their concentrations. From this information, the chemist will
be able to determine the proper hazard class and packaging protocol for the waste item. If the chemist requires
additional information, the waste item will be further analyzed through Tradebe's unknown testing procedures.
Absorbent materials, such as oil dry, spill pads, and cotton rags will also be present on -site, in case of a spill.
Most of the items received at the segregation table will be lab packed or loose packed.
All waste material that is unloaded at the segregation table will be placed in UN-rated/DOT approved containers.
The field chemists will then pack the waste items according to Tradebe's Lab Pack Guidelines, which are based
on DOT and EPA regulations. In some cases, Tradebe's guidelines are more stringent than DOT or EPA's
regulations for packaging waste material. Once the drum is closed, the chemists will add the appropriate labels
for shipment to Tradebe. These labels and markings include:
❑ Non -Regulated Waste Label
❑ DOT hazard class, as required
❑ Drum inventory sheet, if lab pack drum
❑ Tradebe waste stream number or lab pack number

All collected materials will be removed from the designated HHW site by the end of the day.
Tradebe will assist the Village to identify any unknowns they come across during their waste receiving process.
Tradebe's chemists will sample and test the waste materials utilizing Tradebe's Unknown Testing Procedures.
From the field analysis, Tradebe's chemists should be able to determine hazard class and proper packaging
protocol. The procedures are only completed in the presence of other trained chemists for safety purposes.
Chemists will don appropriate safety gear (which may include respirators) while performing the tests. Tradebe's
Unknown Testing Procedures aid our qualified field personnel in the verification and subsequent acceptance of
unknown materials encountered during on -site operations. Tradebe's field chemists can test for the following:
> Physical Appearance
> pH
> Flammability
> Solubility
> Water Reactivity
> Cyanide
> Sulfides
> Peroxides
> Oxidizers
> Qualitative PCB
> Air Reactive

If any chemicals are spilled while Tradebe is on site, Tradebe's field personnel will serve as the initial emergency
responders. Tradebe's field personnel are fully trained on the proper procedures for responding to small
chemical spills and fires. Tradebe will keep the following information at the work site:
➢ Emergency Response Guidelines (Actions to be taken)
➢ Emergency Response Contacts and Telephone Numbers (Site Safety Plan)
➢ A map to the nearest medical facility
Emergency Equipment
The following equipment will be available for an emergency response situation:
Internal Communication and Alarm System
Telephones should be located on -site within easy access to all areas where an emergency incident
may arise. The telephone will be used in an emergency situation to call 911 and to communicate with
the appropriate outside agencies.
Emergency ye Wash
Emergency eyewash will be present on -site.
First Aid Supplies
First aid kits will be available on -site.
Fire Prevention System
Fire extinguishers will be present on -site and within easy access to all areas where an emergency
incident may arise. All fire extinguishers are inspected on a regular basis and recharged annually.
Spill Kit
The spill kit will contain a broom, shovel, and absorbent material.
Emergency Response Guidelines
Unplanned releases fall into two categories: either an Incidental Release or an Emergency Response. Tradebe
personnel will respond to incidental releases, nuisance spills, or minor releases of hazardous substances where
the substance can be absorbed, neutralized, or otherwise controlled at the time of release. Incidental releases
are limited in quantity, exposure potential, and toxicity and clearly do not present a significant safety or health
risk to the personnel assigned to cleaning up the release.

Upon determining that the release is containable and controllable, the specified Tradebe Emergency Response
Coordinator (ERC) will implement the following clean-up action plan. During clean-up procedures, all reasonable
measures will be taken to ensure that the fires, explosions, and releases do not occur, recur, or spread to other
areas. A small spill includes drips and splashes that cover a small surface, area less than one square foot with
estimated volumes less than one (1) pint.
A moderate spill includes splashes that cover a surface area greater than one square foot and with estimated
volumes of less than one-half (1/2) gallon of material.
The following procedures will be performed by the Emergency Response Coordinator (ERC) and other trained
Tradebe personnel in the event of an Incidental release.
1. Small fire
a. Stay upwind and out of low areas.
b. Eliminate ignition sources.
c. Move the appropriate firefighting equipment to the area; extinguish the fire.
d. Using a shovel, transfer the spent material to a lined drum (or equivalent container) and seal the
container.
e. Ensure that the recovered waste or contaminated material is properly stored in a container storage
unit.
f. Decontaminate the area, equipment, and personnel.
2. Chemical Spill
a. Eliminate all ignition sources and secure the area.
b. Don the proper personal protective equipment.
c. Move unaffected chemicals out of the area, if no hazard is involved.
d. Contain the spill to prevent the spill from spreading. Use Damming Diking and/or absorbent materials
to stop the spread of the spilled materials.
e. Absorb the spilled materials with absorbents, including Vermiculite, Ultrasorb, or spill pillows.
f. Using a broom and shovel, transfer the spent material to a lined drum (or equivalent container) and
seal the container.
g. Ensure that the recovered waste or contaminated material is properly stored in a container in the
storage unit.
h. Decontaminate the area, equipment and personnel.
3. Solvent or Oil Spills
a. Eliminate all ignition sources and secure the area.
b. Don the proper personal protective equipment.
c. Move unaffected chemicals out of the area, if no hazard is involved.
d. Contain the spill to prevent the spill from spreading. Use Damming Diking and/or absorbent materials
to stop the spread of the spilled materials.
e. Absorb the spilled materials with absorbents, including Vermiculite, Ultrasorb, or spill pillows.
f. Using a broom and shovel, transfer the spent material to a lined drum (or equivalent container) and
seal the container.
g. Ensure that the recovered waste or contaminated material is properly stored in a container in the
storage unit.
h. Decontaminate the area, equipment, and personnel.
The Emergency Action Plan shall be implemented in the event of the following situation:

c. The fire could spread off -site.
d. The use of fire suppressant materials could cause contaminated run-off.
2. Explosion
a. Imminent danger exists which could cause an explosion, resulting in extreme heat and gas
generation.
b. Imminent danger exists which could ignite materials at other locations.
c. An explosion could occur which could release toxic fumes.
3. Unplanned Release of Hazardous Waste
a. The release of flammable liquids or vapors could create a potential fire or explosion hazard.
b. The release could contain toxic liquids and/or fumes.
c. The release has the potential to contaminant air, soil, or surface water.
In the event of an emergency situation requiring the implementation of the Emergency Action Plan, the
Emergency Response Coordinator (ERC) assumes the lead role in responding to the emergency and will
call the 911 emergency number and implement site control and evacuation, if necessary. This of course
includes local police and fire department emergency response personnel.
Transportation Spill Guidelines
In the event of an on -the road spill or other emergency, the driver will follow these procedures:
A. Remain in the unit and warn all pedestrians and motorists to stay away from the spill area. Point out to
them the danger involved and have someone call the police or fire department.
B. Upon the arrival of the police or fire department, the driver will inform them of what kind of material has
been spilled and request the area be blocked off to both pedestrians and vehicles to prevent property
damage or any serious personal injury. The driver will request the first responder, fire, or police personnel
to protect the area while the driver reports to a facility Emergency Coordinator.
C. The Emergency Coordinator will gather the following information from the driver and relay it to the
National Response Center and the appropriate State agency.
1. Name of person reporting the incident.
2. Name, address, and identification number of the transporter.
3. Phone number where person reporting can be reached.
4. Date, time, and location of the incident.
5. The extent of injuries, if any.
6. Classification, name, and quantity of hazardous materials, wastes involved, if such information is
available.
7. Type of incident and nature of hazardous materials/wastes involved if such information is available.
8. For each waste product involved provide:
a. Name and identification number of generator.
b. Product shipping, hazardous class and UN or NA number.
c. Estimated quantity of material spilled.
d. If possible, the extent of contamination to land, water, or air.
9. Shipping name, hazard class, and identification of any other material carried.
D. Specific actions to be taken at the scene of the spill are:
1. Containment - the critical problem is to prevent the escape of any spilled liquid or solid into the ground
or into a storm or sanitary sewer. A barrier must be erected immediately to prevent the escape of
F ork!
UU � 1 i IUIIIVI � /
T rad e be Environmental Services, L LC .
1433 E. 83rd Ave., Ste. 200
T FAA D E B E Merrillville, IN 46410
spilled materials/waste liquids, using whatever material is at hand, even a dirt curb, to prevent the
spread of the spill. Containment of solids will be dependent on wind and weather conditions. Use
tarpaulin in the vehicle or plastic (available at most supply stores) if conditions are wet and windy.
Simultaneously, the sources of the spill or leak must be located and controlled, e.g., a drum plugged
or taped, turned upside down.
The possibility of evacuation should be considered in the event of a major spill (e.g., a collision with
another vehicle or a loaded trailer that is turned over, with subsequent container(s) rupturing). Major
concerns involve ignitable wastes that may catch fire and possibly explode or generate toxic fumes.
If fire threatens or occurs, personnel should be evacuated a distance of at least ahalf-mile as
recommended by the Emergency Response Guidebook. If no fire threatens, and no container(s) has
ruptured, a distance of 50 to 100 ft. should suffice.
If the shipping description is known (refer to the manifest) find the name in your Emergency Response
Guidebook in the blue pages and turn to the Corresponding Guide Number (orange top page —last
1 /3 of the book).
If the shipping description is not known, check the placard on the vehicle for an "UN" or "NA" number,
look up the number in the yellow pages and refer to the Corresponding Guide Number, or contact the
generator of the waste for safety data.
2. Cleanup - with containment effected and the spillage source controlled, cleanup is the next step. If the
spill is contained on an impervious paved surface, material should be absorbed onto a compatible
material (e.g., sand, diatomaceous earth). Any of a number of commercial absorbent inert materials may
be used, but make sure they are compatible with the waste and will not cause a reaction. If the spillage
has reached earth, all contaminated dirt should be collected into drums or bags for disposal at an EPA
approved site.
If any spilled waste has reached the ground, the contaminated soil will be removed. The extent of contamination
will be determined by sampling the spill area. A qualified laboratory will analyze the sample. Sampling
techniques, chain -of -custody requirements, and analytical methods will follow approved procedures such as
those outlined in SW-846. Any soil exhibiting contamination above the local background level will be removed to
an appropriate permitted disposal site.

Each tractor carries the following emergency equipment stored in sturdy aluminum box:
• Gloves
•Goggles
•Slicker Suit
• Hazorb (4 pillows)
•Shovel
•Full -face Respirator
•Boots
•DOT Emergency response Guidebook

Two steps remain once the immediate emergency aspects of a spill have been taken care of:
Decontamination — a truck or trailer exposed to a leak or spill will be decontaminated at the site in order to
prevent any further release to the extent that it can be transported (or move under its own power) to an
authorized facility capable of further decontamination if necessary.
Equipment will be decontaminated in the following manner:
Each item used will be placed in an open head container and thoroughly rinsed with a compatible solvent
or cleaning compound. The residue or wash water will then be drained into a tight head container, sealed,
and disposed of per Federal and State Regulations at an authorized disposal site.
Clothing — Contaminated clothing will be placed with the cleanup residue and disposed of per Federal and
State Regulations at an authorized disposal site. If clothing is reusable, then it will be decontaminated
properly, and the residue managed the same as the spill waste.
Notification — The Department of Transportation, Director of Hazardous Materials Registration, Materials
and Transportation Bureau, Washington, DC 10590 will be notified, in writing, of the occurrence and nature
of the incident and a copy will be submitted to the proper Environmental Management Facility.
Site Safety Plans
Tradebe will prepare a site -specific Safety Plan. Tradebe will ensure the on -site employees are familiar with
the approved Safety Plan.

Other Additional Training/Training Information:
Tradebe maintains that the responsibility for a safe operations rest with all of its employees. Specific training is
given to all responsible on -site supervisory personnel and the individuals handling, storing, and treating wastes.
Off -site personnel participate in training programs to meet the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.120. Site design,
operational procedures, and planning affect the operations; therefore, individuals involved in these functions
must be aware of the criteria for a safe and efficient operation. Emergency response training is conducted per
29 CFR 1910.120 and the Contingency Plan for each facility. This means that each employee, with a specific
duty established in the Contingency Plan, will be fully trained as to the specifics of the duty or action required.
This training includes drills or simulated emergencies to provide practice for personnel and to determine the
adequacy and effectiveness of the Contingency Plan. Training for personnel also encompasses RCRA and DOT
training. Each level of personnel is trained to meet or exceed federal, state, and company requirements.
Tradebe provides all of its Technical Field Service employees, which includes the Reactive Division, with a 40-
hour initial HAZWOPER training course per OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120(e), before their assignment to a work area.
The training is provided "in-house" by a Tradebe Certified Environmental Trainer. The personnel must also pass
a DOT and OSHA/HAZWOPER physical examination and receive certification to wear a respirator, before
working with hazardous materials. All personnel receive an annual physical as a part of Tradebe's medical
monitoring program.
Tradebe's training program for Hazardous Materials Transportation personnel includes HM-126F Training, which
addresses general awareness, function specific, and safety training per DOT 49 CFR 172.704. Transportation
personnel, at a minimum, are also provided 24-hour TSD facility HAZWOPER training per OSHA 29 CFR
1910.120(p). All 40-hour and 24-hour trained personnel also receive an eight -hour annual refresher training
course. Refresher courses consist of relevant topics, including, but not limited to: Contingency Planning and
Emergency Response, Decontamination, Waste Characterization, Hazardous Materials Handling, a Review of

Current Federal Regulations, and Container Management. All Field Chemists have obtained their Class B
Commercial Driver's License (CDL) with Hazmat and Airbrake Endorsements. Also, the following courses are
included in their training:
✓ Hazardous Communication Training per 29 CFR 1910
✓ Respiratory Protection and Personal Protective Equipment Training per 29 CFR 1910, Subpart 1 and 2
✓ First Aid/CPR by the American Red Cross
✓ Injury and Illness Prevention Program Training
✓ Procedures for the proper Handling and Transportation of Hazardous Material Training, per DOT HM-
1811 HM-215, and HM126F
✓ CGA Transportation of Gases AV-6
✓ Forklift Training
✓ Sampling and Unknown Testing (HAZCAT)
Before working in the field, Tradebe's Technical Field Service personnel must attend a 16-hour course for the
Hazardous Waste Management for Lab Pack Operations. This course covers the following topics:
✓ Regulation Overview (RCRA/CERCLA) ✓ Waste Identification
✓ Selecting a DOT Shipping Description ✓ DOT Hazard Class Review
✓ DOT &EPA Label ing/Marking/Placarding ✓ POPS Packaging Standards
✓ Manifesting &Land Disposal Restrictions ✓ Hazardous Materials Table
The personnel must attend a 4-hour Reactive Chemical Recognition course. This course tests the employees
on Tradebe's Handling Requirements for Reactive and Explosive Chemicals. This course covers the following
topics:
✓ Temperature Sensitive Chemicals ✓ Pyrophoric Material
✓ Compressed Gas Cylinders ✓ Picric Acid
✓ Commercial Explosives ✓ Ethyl Ether
The personnel must also attend a Certified Chemist Training course (8-hour), which tests the staff on the
Reactive Chemical Shipping Requirements. Topics covered include:
✓ Organic Peroxide Packaging Guidelines ✓ Multi -nitrated Materials
✓ Tradebe cylinder shipping requirements ✓ Tradebe Picric Acid Policy
✓ DOT Transportation of cylinders ✓ Class 4 Oxidizers
✓ Compressed Gas Association ✓ Azide Materials
✓ Peroxide Forming Materials ✓ Perchloric Acid
Most of these procedures were instituted in the original lab -pack manual and have been used successfully
without a safety related incident over the course of ten years (over 200,000 samples). These screening
procedures, in whole or in part, may be used to provide insight to a material's chemical characteristics. Tradebe's
field chemists can often identify the waste material without having to perform these unknown field tests. Less
than 10% of all containers initially identified as "Unknown" are packaged and shipped as characterized
unknowns. The field personnel use their knowledge of chemicals as well as information from the resident to
identify the waste material.

Tradebe's Indiana facility sits on approximately 12 acres in a heavy industrial section of East Chicago and is
approximately 20 miles south of downtown Chicago, Illinois. Tradebe neighbors include a commercial gas
manufacturer, a railyard, and a vacant aluminum smelting facility. The closest water stream is the Indiana Harbor
Canal, which is approximately 2,700 feet west of the facility. The majority of the property is dedicated to serving
Tradebe waste management operations. Also located on the facility's property is a rail -line that accommodates
up to ten rail cars. EPA Region V and the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) originally
issued the Part B RCRA permit in 1991. The facility currently has storage capacity for up to 4,508 "55-gallon
drum equivalent" containers of hazardous waste. With the issuance of the renewed permit, permitted drum
capacity increases to 11,000 drums. Tradebe's operations includes a 165,000-gallon tank farm, a newly
redesigned state-of-the-art lab pack/depack facility, a drum consolidation and handling building, and a non-
hazardous processing building with 45,327 gallons of bulk treatment capacity. The company's laboratory and
receiving area are capable of accepting and analyzing up to 2,000 drums per day. The Part B facility has the
capability of receiving up to 30,000 drums per month. Tradebe operates an adjacent 8-acre site as a transfer
yard for incoming and outgoing waste, and a potential expansion of the East Chicago operation. In July of
2004,Tradebe added a new capability to its range of services call Solid Distillation system (SDS). The SDS
allows Tradebe to process and recycle waste materials on -site. Our Solid Distillation System is self-contained,
indirectly -heated, rotating processing chamber that uses an anaerobic atmosphere to remove volatile and semi -
volatile organic compounds from solid waste. SDS eliminates oxidation and the formation of hazardous
compounds. In addition to the environmentally friendly nature of the process, the SDS system offers many other
advantages over typical direct -flame systems. A significant expansion of our SDS processing capabilities was
made in 2016 when as second processing unit was added more than doubling our processing capacity.
F. Permits and Certifications
Tradebe has obtained the necessary permits, licenses, and certificates to legally handle, transport, and dispose
of hazardous and non -hazardous waste material. Please see the attached:
✓ Illinois Environmental Protection Agency —Special Waste Hauling Permit
✓ State of Indiana Hazardous Waste Management Permit (RCRA part B permit)
✓ State of Tennessee Hazardous Waste Management Permit (RCRA part B permit)

I. Tradebe Household Hazardous Waste Collection Agreement
HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION AGREEMENT
(SHORT FORM)
Effective Date of this Agreement ("Agreement"):
Service Provider: Tradebe Environmental Services, LLC (1433 E. 83rd Ave., Merrillville, IN
46410 ("TES")
Customer:
TES and Customer agree as follows:
("Customer")
1. Services Provided. TES agrees to provide the household hazardous waste ("HHW") collection
services ("Services") set forth in the Request for Quotation / Request for Proposal Number
("RFP77).
2. Payment for Services. Customer agrees to pay for the Services in accordance with the prices
stipulated in the awarded bid ("Services Fee").
3. T_. This Agreement starts on the Effective Date and will continue until completion of the
Services, unless sooner terminated for one of the following reasons: (a) by TES if Customer
defaults in performing its obligations under this Agreement, (b) by Customer if TES defaults in
performing its obligations under this Agreement, (c) by either party if the other party fails to comply
with applicable federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations, or (d) by either party
if the other party becomes insolvent, makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors,
admits in writing the inability to pay debts as they mature, has a trustee or receiver appointed by
any court with respect to its assets, or has an action taken against it under bankruptcy or
insolvency law or laws relating to the relief of debtors. A party electing to terminate for any of
the foregoing reasons will give notice of termination to the other party. Termination does not
extinguish rights under this Agreement. If Customer terminates this Agreement prior to the
completion of the Services, Customer will pay TES the Services Fee for Services performed
through the date of termination plus reasonable demobilization charges.
4. Standard of Performance. TES represents and warrants that the Services will be performed
in a professional and competent manner in accordance with industry standards, using properly
qualified and trained employees of TES.
5. Representatives. Each party will designate, in writing, a representative for purposes of
communications in connection with the Services and performance of obligations under this
Agreement.
6. Confidential Information. Each party will exercise due diligence to ensure that any
confidential information it receives from the other party is used only as necessary in connection
with performance of obligations under this Agreement and is not disclosed to any third party
without the prior written consent of the other party. If (a) a court issues a subpoena or court
UU � 1 i IUIIIVI � /
T rad e be Environmental Services, L LC .
1433 E. 83rd Ave., Ste. 200
T FAA D E B E Merrillville, IN 46410
order; or (b) if health, human safety, or property is at risk; or (c) if reasonably required to comply
with any federal, state, or local law, regulation, or rule or permit; or (d) if required to enforce its
rights under this Agreement, then either party may, without violating the terms of this Agreement,
disclose confidential information as is reasonably necessary with respect thereto.
7. Services on Site. If and to the extent Services are performed on property owned or controlled by
Customer, Customer will provide TES and its employees and subcontractors (if any) a safe working
environment for the Services and will disclose to TES and its employees and its subcontractors (if any)
all known or suspected hazards associated with the performance of the Services. Customer will also
inform its employees, agents and other contractors the presence of TES on the site, the nature of the
work to be performed, and ensuring
Customer's employees, agents and other contractors do not interfere with the Services. TES will
take necessary precautions for the safety of its employees, will comply with applicable provisions
of the Occupational Safety and Health Act, and will comply with site -specific rules of Customer
relating to environmental, health, safety and security that are provided in writing to TES prior to
the start of Services.
8. Waste Profile. TES will accept (a) for households, only waste that meets the HHW description
issued by Customer to residents eligible to participate in the HHW event(s), or (b) if the RFP scope
includes waste from USEPA (40 CFR Part 262) Very Small Quantity Generators (VSQG) or Small
Quantity Generators (SQG), waste that meets waste profiles as agreed to between TES and the
VSOG or SQG.
9. Payment Terms. Payment terms are as set forth in the RFP or as otherwise agreed to between
Customer and TES. If Customer disputes any portion of an invoice, the undisputed portion will be
paid in accordance with payment terms.
10. Indemnity. TES agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Customer and the municipal or county
political subdivision of which it is part, together with its/their respective officers, directors, agents
and employees (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") harmless from and against any and all
liabilities, claims, penalties, forfeitures, damages, fines, suits, and the costs and expenses incident
thereto (including costs of defense, settlement, investigation, expert fees and reasonable
attorney's fees) (hereafter referred to collectively as "claims") which the Indemnified Parties may
incur, become responsible for or pay as a result of: (1) death or bodily injury (including sickness,
disease and emotional or mental distress) to any person; (2) destruction of or damage to any
property or equipment (including loss of use); (3) contamination of or adverse effects on the
environment or a facility; (4) any violation of governmental laws, regulations or orders, each of
which as may be caused by: (i) TES's breach of any representation or warranty, default in the
performance of any term or provision of this Agreement; or (ii) any negligent act or omission of
TES, its employee, subcontractors (if any), agent or representatives. If any of the above damages
are caused in part by acts or omissions of the Indemnified Parties, the amount of indemnification
from TES will be proportional to the degree of comparative fault of the Indemnified Parties, its
employees or other contractors. The indemnification obligations of TES under this paragraph are
absolutely conditioned upon TES receiving prompt written notice of a claim for indemnification
from an Indemnified Party or claimant after an Indemnified Party is served with a claim or becomes
aware of an event giving rise to a claim for indemnification. The foregoing indemnity obligations
in this paragraph will survive the termination, expiration, or cancellation of the Agreement for a
UU � 1 i IUIIIVI � /

period of one (1) year. The obligation of TES to indemnify the Indemnified Parties will not extend
to claims for indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages of any kind whatsoever.
11. Insurance. TES will maintain at its own expense during the term of this Agreement the
following insurance coverage. Contractor's Pollution Liability is for claims during policy period.

12. Excuse of Performance (Force Maieure). The performance of this Agreement, except for
the payment of money for Services already rendered, may be suspended by either party in the
event performance of this Agreement is prevented by a cause or causes beyond the reasonable
control of such parties. Such causes include but are not be limited to: acts of God, acts of war,
riot, fire, explosion, accidents, inclement weather, pandemics or sabotage, lack of adequate fuel,
power, raw materials, labor, transportation facilities, or destruction facilities; changes in
government laws, regulations, orders, or defense requirements; restraining orders, labor disputes,
strike, lock -out or injunction (provided that neither party is required to settle a labor dispute against
its own best judgment); or compliance with any order, request, or control of any governmental
authority or persons purporting to act therefor, provided, however, that any such order, request or
control is not the result of either party's failure to comply with applicable laws, permits and
regulations. The party which is prevented from performing by a cause beyond its reasonable
control will use its best efforts to eliminate such cause or event.
13. Notice. Notices required or permitted under this Agreement must be in writing and will be
deemed received on the following dates: when personal delivery is made (with written receipt);
when received by the addressee if sent by U.S. mail with return receipt requested or a nationally
recognized overnight courier (receipt confirmation); on the date sent by facsimile or e-mail (with
confirmation of transmission) if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, and on the
next business day if sent after normal business hours of the recipient; or on the fifth business
day after the date mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid.
Such communications must be sent to the following addresses:

Attn: General Counsel
If to Customer:
14. Independent Contractor. TES will be fully independent in performing the Services and will
not act as an agent or employee of Customer. As such, TES will maintain complete control of,
and be solely responsible for, its employees, subcontractors (if any), agents and operations.
15. Limitation of Liability. Neither TES nor Customer will be liable to the other for claims for
indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages of any kind whatsoever. Except in respect
of indemnification claims under Paragraph 10 (Indemnity), the liability of TES in connection with
Services will not exceed the amount of the Services Fee paid to TES for such Services.
16. Waste Materials for Incineration. For waste materials designated for or requiring
incineration, TES reserves the right to (a) increase pricing, effective upon notice to Customer, to
reflect increases in costs for incineration, or (b) decline acceptance of such materials to the
extent TES determines there is no available outlet for incineration.
17. Pre-existing Contamination. TES will not be responsible or liable for pre-existing
contamination at the site where Services are performed.
18. Assignment. Neither party may assign its rights or delegate its duties under this Agreement to any
other person or entity, except in respect of permitted subcontractors to TES, by operation of law or
otherwise, without the other party's prior written consent. This Agreement is binding upon and inures to
the benefit of each party's successors and permitted assigns.
19. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the RFP and the bid award represent the entire
understanding and agreement between the parties hereto and supersede any and all prior
agreements, whether written or oral, that may exist between the parties concerning the Services.
This Agreement controls over any conflicting terms in the RFP or additional or conflicting terms in
any form purchase order issued in furtherance of the bid award. Any modifications to this
Agreement must be in writing, must be signed by Customer and TES, and must make express
reference to this Agreement.
20. Choice of Law; Jurisdiction; Venue. This Agreement will be construed and interpreted
according to the laws of the state where the Services are performed, without any consideration
being given to the conflicts of laws principles adopted or followed under the laws of that state.
21. Waiver. Neither party's delay in enforcing any right or remedy afforded hereunder or by law
will prejudice or operate to waive that right or remedy or any other right or remedy which it will
have available; nor will any such failure or delay operate to waive either party's rights to any
remedies due to a future breach of this Agreement, whether of a like or different character.
