Soil & Remediation
Safe Disposal of Contaminated Soil
GFL offers ex-situ bioremediation for contaminated soils, and will arrange for excavation and transportation of your soil to one of our licensed remediation facilities.
Bioremediation is an environmentally-responsible, energy-efficient and competitive alternative to disposing of contaminated soil in landfills.
It is a proven and effective technology for the decontamination of soils containing organic contaminants such as straight-chain hydrocarbons, and polycyclic organic compounds such as PAHs. This type of biological treatment system does not involve significant energy inputs or result in the sterilization of the soil, unlike systems involving thermal or chemical processes.
We treat soils contaminated from:
Gas stations
Commercial, residential and infrastructure properties
Road salt and more
