We provide safe, reliable, and cost-effective gun range maintenance and waste disposal services.

While it is obvious that bullet lead, slugs, and debris are present in the bullet trap, backstop, and collection areas, what you don't see is the fine lead dust that is produced with every round fired. Thousands of rounds are fired every week at modern indoor ranges and these facilities are equipped with sophisticated air handling systems designed to capture the airborne dust and return clean, filtered air back to the range. Some of the dust settles to the floors and other surfaces of the range. Sampling of gun range debris collected from bullet traps, floors, backstops, and spent air handling system filters has historically demonstrated that leachable lead is present at a characteristically hazardous level. Since these lead-contaminated materials are often mixed with paper, plastic, or other debris they are not considered to be economically beneficial for recycling, hence the requirement for hazardous waste disposal.

OSHA has adopted specific worker exposure regulations that address the need for personal protective equipment, medical surveillance, worker training, and exposure limits when working in lead-contaminated environments. The liability associated with lead exposure, as well as, handling hazardous waste, has many municipal and academic entities recognizing the need for professional management of their ranges. Environmental Logistics Company has contracts with a number of these institutions to provide on-going lead remediation and waste management services. Our experienced team focuses on safety, regulatory compliance, and liability management for indoor and outdoor firing ranges. Our technicians and project managers are trained to handle lead and control lead waste exposure with the use of the appropriate PPE and safety equipment.

We serve ranges for a diverse base of clients that includes police, local and national government agencies, law enforcement academies, and private ranges. Our services include trap maintenance, basic cleaning, air filter management, bullet trap inspection, lead reclamation, and full decommissioning.
