•Can be accessed in the inventory system to determine status of container (storage, processed, or shipped off-site)

InvoicingOnce waste is received, weights from each drum are collected

Drum goes through a quality control process. If any analytical discrepancies (ADS) discovered, a form is produced and the technical service representative informs the customer

Once this is complete, all information is turned in to be billed

Information is verified against what is on the work order and quantities are adjusted as needed; analytical discrepancy is adjusted for pricing

Invoice is posted and e-mailed or sent by mail to the customer.
