Regulated Garbage – APHIS
Transportation and destruction of regulated garbage requires strict adherence to federal guidelines and controlled handling procedures. HM Environmental Services, Inc. holds compliance agreements with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to transport regulated garbage confiscated from airports, shipping ports, and U.S.–Canadian border crossings for proper destruction.
We provide secure, compliant transportation services under federal oversight.
What Is Regulated Garbage?
Regulated garbage refers to materials confiscated from international conveyances such as aircraft, ships, and border crossings that may pose agricultural or environmental risks. Oversight is governed by APHIS (Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service) under the United States Department of Agriculture.
These materials must be:
- Properly contained
- Delivered to approved destruction facilities
- Transported under compliance agreement
- Managed in accordance with federal, state, and local regulations
Improper handling can present significant biosecurity and environmental risks.

HM Environmental maintains active compliance agreements with U.S. Customs and Border Protection in the midwest. These agreements authorize us to transport regulated garbage from airports, shipping ports, and border crossings.
All activities are performed in accordance with APHIS and CBP requirements, including containment standards, documentation, and approved disposal procedures.
