Hazardous waste violations cost UPS and former subsidiary $3.8 million - Atlanta Journal-Constitution
UPS and its former freight unit face a $3.8 million penalty in a settlement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency over hazardous waste violations.
Sandy Springs-based UPS and TForce Freight must also correct violations at facilities in Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Texas. UPS earlier this year sold its low-margin freight unit to Canadian trucking company TFI International Inc., which renamed it TForce Freight. The EPA investigation started well before the sale.
The EPA said it discovered that many UPS facilities were generating and managing hazardous waste without reporting all the required information, including a description of hazardous waste activity.
