Used eWaste for a recent asbestos removal project including floors and popcorn ceilings in our kitchen and several other rooms in the house. Tom was very responsive and helpful answering all of my questions, and working with our scheduling needs. Steve and his crew did a great job during the two day job, was very courteous and did a good job cleaning up as well. Would definitely use them again in the future! read more

I write plenty of critical reviews on Yelp so it's a pleasure to write a positive one once in a while. I called today before 9am and Thomas picked up on the first ring. I had just bought an old house and was preparing to do attic work when someone mentioned possible asbestos issues in attic, which had not occurred to me. Thomas was very helpful, professional and courteous on the phone. But he suggested that he'd need to see the house and possibly get some samples done to make proper determination of the asbestos threat. He met me an hour later at the house. After a very thorough walk through of the house which took over an hour, he said "You really don't have a problem here and there's nothing I need to do for you." Now, I have bought quite a few homes for investments in past few years and I am always running into service professionals who prey on fear, uncertainty and doubt to get you to buy their services, whether it's necessary or not. I have been quoted thousands of dollars for a 2 hour job anyone can do themselves with $20 in materials. As an asbestos job can easily run in the tens of thousands, it's rare to run into someone who essentially says "Don't pay me to do anything because there's nothing wrong with the house." I salute Thomas for his character and then offered to pay for him to run some samples but he said "Samples are not really necessary - I can see that the ducts and pipes are fine. If they weren't I'd tell you." I then offered him some gas money for making him come out for nothing, to which he replied "My office is close by, so don't worry about it." They don't make them like Thomas anymore. In my book he gets an A for his professional knowledge, attention to detail and courteousness. And more importantly he gets an A+ for integrity. I only wished that every service professional was like him or even half as good. When I save up and do a more extensive remodel which will involve opening the walls and demolishing parts of the house, you can bet he will be getting my call. read more

We bought a town home that was covered in asbestos filled popcorn ceilings on both floors. We found and booked Thomas while we were in escrow so it would be the first thing we would get done as soon as we got the keys. Thomas was incredible throughout the entire process. Very friendly, honest and helped us get rid of our asbestos as soon as possible. His team did a wonderful job, not a speck of popcorn left. They were respectful and left our home clean and I felt great throughout the entire process. I would recommend them to anyone who wants great service and the removal done right. read more

Very professional, extremely responsive and fast! In the middle of a wood floor installation project, we found asbestos in the adhesive of old linoleum in the dining room and needed remediation before the project could begin. We were on a tight time schedule already because I was hosting my daughter's wedding shower with 40 guests in my home in 2 weeks! On a late Friday afternoon, Thomas Abercrombie called me back and got the AQMD permit required that afternoon! I had called 5 companies and he was the only one who responded to me. A few days later another company gave me a bid online which was a couple of hundred dollars cheaper, but I was very comfortable with my choice of eWaste Disposal. Tom was responsive to my calls, texts and e-mails and made everything easy. He did exactly as he said he could do. And his 2 man crew were very friendly, professional and cleaned everything up perfectly. Would highly recommend. The wood floors were finished 1 day before the wedding shower and, thank God they were, because it POURED the day before and we had to setup all the tables and chairs on the new wood floor instead of the patio as planned. But - the furniture was already tucked away in bedrooms, so everything went well! Thanks to Tom and your fabulous crew. read more

My husband and I recently bought a house. During a flooring estimate, we were told we may have asbestos tile under the carpeting we were looking to get removed. We also had "popcorn" ceiling in the garage. I searched Yelp for asbestos services and found Thomas's company. I contacted Thomas and he came out the same day! He was super friendly and and very knowledgeable. We were contemplating removing the tile but decided to go the encapsulation route. Even though we decided to not use Thomas' service at this time, we are so grateful to have learned a lot. Thomas was even so kind as to answer any questions we had via text and offered his advice if we ever needed any in the future. I highly recommend using Asbestos Removal and Transport! We have bookmarked this company in the event we or anyone we know needs this type of service. Also happy to support a Veteran! read more

We are doing a remodel for a client in Brea and she had some work done a couple years back and discovered asbestos, so before we start the remodel we wanted to make sure there wasn't any asbestos. This company was very easy to work with and very trust worthy. We got the testing done quickly and for a good price. I will definitely use this company again for my future projects that need testing or removal. I highly recommend this company! read more

I called Thomas today to get an estimate for asbestos removal. He happened to be nearby and came within 30 min. since we spoke. He was friendly, kind and extremely helpful. He mentioned the proper avenues to take when dealing with the hazard on our hands. Although we never set up an appointment or made a deal, he was concerned with the problem and gave us ideas that we could use in the meantime. His advice was extremely beneficial. It was geared toward helping a homeowner find the path to fixing the problem rather than just presenting a sales pitch and seeing where it lands. I definitely recommend his knowledge, quality service, friendliness and his by the book methods. Thank you Thomas! read more

I called Thomas to test a popcorn ceiling for asbestos on a condo we just purchased. His pricing was lower and fair compared to other companies I contacted. Thomas was very professional, picked up the phone the first time I called and was very quick at returning back my emails and calls. We scheduled the sample extraction the next day and I got the results from the testing lab 24 hours later. We found out our ceiling was asbestos free, good thing! I was impressed at how fast the procedure went. He is just very good at following up. If you are looking for an honest, knowledgeable, professional contractor, I would highly recommend him! read more

Having a leak, then discovering asbestos in need of removal has not been fun after the recent rains, but the eWaste team certainly made their phase of the recovery process easy for us and relatively affordable compared to what other companies were quoting. Thomas and his team responded immediately, came to give an estimate within 24 hours of our call, and were able to do the job just a few days later. We recommend them highly. read more

We recently purchased a home in Laguna Niguel, knowing that partial asbestos abatement would be necessary in the furnace closet and old HVAC ducting. This was our first experience with removing asbestos, so we were nervous. We found eWaste on Yelp, along with two other companies. After speaking with each company, we decided that we felt most comfortable with Tom. He was very responsive, came out to investigate our situation right away, provided testing, a quote and timeline, handled the permitting, delivered the project as scheduled and estimated, and never tried to upsell us. It's a relief to have the asbestos gone! Thanks, Tom! read more

Thomas helped me with popcorn ceiling removal that had asbestos. He was very knowledgeable and professional. The guidance and assistance he provided was outstanding and the entire process was excellent from start to finish. Thomas was always prompt to respond to my calls and all my messages. It is his expertise and experience that made this a very easy project. It was also very helpful that he knew and provided what I needed to submit to the city since this is a permitted project. Five stars for knowledge, responsiveness, communication, thoroughness and professionalism. ***** Five Stars All Around ***** read more

Thomas and his company did an excellent job in removing popcorn ceiling from my closets. He provides the old fashion type of service that you don't often receive nowadays. He was prompt with my inquiries and returned my messages quickly. He is upfront about the cost and does not change the estimation price. He also helped me out when I needed an additional asbestos pipe removed quickly. Thank you Tom for your kindness and helpfulness! read more

We had major issues with Asbestos in our home my wife and I are DYI's so we did the removal but needed to have the Asbestos hauled away.... We called and emailed all kinds of companies some returned our calls and emails most sounded sketchy and untrustworthy and the price WOW crazy high!!! until we called eWaste Disposal we even talked with the owner and he was upfront with everything and the price was awesome compared to the others... I suggest if anyone needs a good hazardous waste hauler they are the company hands down!!!! Thanks guys.... read more

Amazing company - 100% response turnaround time line - Owner in full communication with me at all times - On the ball and scheduled removal as promised. This company is as good as it gets - NO COMPLAINTS HERE!!! Love them and would refer them to all my clients (Im in real estate business). read more

After comparing different companies, we finally decided to chose ewaste disposal to remove our asbestos filled popcorn ceiling last week. We got a very good price and the crew are very nice and hardworking. We are so happy with the work they done and we highly recommend them to other friends. read more

I was disappointed when we discovered an asbestos pipe after removing a wall heater. Nevertheless Thomas made the whole process simpler than I would have imagined. He was an excellent communicator and responded very quickly to my initial inquiry through Yelp. Once the appointment was set up the gentleman that came out to remove the pipe was super professional and friendly (I believe his name was Hanzel). He removed the pipe very quickly and even temporarily put a rain proof patch on our roof. Which was great as it was schedule to rain the next day, and it did. The patch held well and there was no leaks until we could replace the shingles the following weekend. Would recommend these guys to anyone! read more

Gave them a call about disposing of some florescent lights and alkaline batteries. The person who answered told me to throw the batteries in the garbage and they would charge to pick up the lights! I asked if there is a drop off center and they said no. I found that there are places sponsored by Orange County that has FREE hazardous waste drop offs for the residents of the OC. So why pay this guy to pick it up and have them dump it god knows where? read more

Where do I start! Recently we had discovered that our bedroom at our duplex had 4% asbestos tiles underneath our carpet. They were recently exposed due to poor craftsmanship when ripping up our carpet. From the moment that this happend I found Tom on Yelp. From the very first phone call he instructed me step by step what precautions I needed to take. He recommend the environmental company to come out and do the testing and helped ease my worries through this entire situation. Not only was he extremely knowledgeable about his profession but also had incredible people skills. His attitude and demeanor were top notch! As someone who works in a service industry the type of courtesy shown by him is a lost art. I hope no one has to experience a shady landlord who does provide his tenants with a healthy living environment, but if it happens to you and you want to count on someone who is competent and personable, Tom and Ewaste-disposal is who you call. Keep yourself and your family safe! Demand an air quality test from your landlord! Thank you Tom! read more

My wife and I bought an old house and it had that ugly popcorn ceiling (asbestos) so we had it removed... buy a contractor saying he was a asbestos certified company but this was a shady contractor I found out after the fact!!! They did the work, I paid him and he said he would be back in the morning to pick up and dispose of the asbestos debris... Well this guy cashed his check that night and basically skipped out of town leaving me with ASBESTOS HAZARDOUS WASTE sitting in my front yard.... We went on some search sites and even called several places for a quote. We're glad we found eWaste Disposal. He gave us the best quote. Not only that, he was very prompt and professional. He came across open and honest. After talking with him on the phone and reading the reviews, we immediately felt we could trust him oh and this time we ask to see his credentials!!!! His crew was very professional and competent. They did a fantastic job removing and even putting it in the right bags I might add (6 mil.) not Glad trash bags, and we couldn't be happier. If you need asbestos disposal, look no further, this company is the one. We highly recommend eWaste Disposal, Inc. A+A+A+A+ read more

I needed an Abatement for my closet for my furnace and duct work because im going to need to replace my furnace and duct work because i was told by the HVAC company i had come for a furnace quote that i had non disturbed asbestos in both parts of the home. I reach out to e waste disposal on a Sunday night via Yelp and sent a message to Tom at 8 PM or so and within minutes he replied to my message and made an appointment with me for the following day. Wow that was very fast. Tom came over Monday afternoon, couldn't been more pleased with his professionalism and great people skills. We went over the remedies needed and gave me a quote and sent me a quote in writing that afternoon. Tom went through the process and told me what needs to be done and explained the rules and regulations that Asbestos removable contractors abide by and answered all my questions and concerns. I felt very comfortable with Tom. He is very honest and transparent and put me at ease with the abatement process. He processed all the paperwork and yesterday he sent me a team of two great employees (Roger and George) to remove the asbestos in my furnace closet and duct work. They worked very hard and did a fantastic job. They were very polite and professional and stayed to 7 pm to get the job done. Tom was in constant contact with me through the whole process. He was very responsive and easy to reach at all times and days of the week. I am very happy I chose eWaste Disposal and highly recommend Tom and his company to anyone looking for a professional honest and genuine person to work with. Thank you Tom and your crew for a great job and helping me. read more

We are in escrow for a Condo in Irvine, the home inspector sited a transite pipe for the water heater as being made of asbestos. I wanted a second opinion and found Asbestos Removal and Transport on yelp. I called and Thomas was very helpful on the phone, answered all of my questions. When he came out to inspect the Condo, I was impressed by his knowledge and willingness to inspect the entire condo again for asbestos. He didn't try to sell me on using his company's services, the condo inspection was free. We will be having Thomas come back to the condo once escrow closes to test a heater closet and vent that may contain asbestos as well. Thomas even told me where I can get the material tested for asbestos if I wanted to make it a DIY project. Hopefully the testing comes back negative for asbestos , but we will be using his company to remove the transit pipe, his quote for that project was $100 cheaper than another company that I emailed in LA. read more

I stumbled upon eWated Disposal in googling for Lead Abatement company as the large companies referred by Insurance carried all had bad reviews and reputation. Thomas was a pleasure to work with over the phone. I was not able to work with him as he was booked weeks ahead and my situation was an urgent one. Nevertheless he gave me some other really good referrals which in turn gave me other referrals. I wqill not hesitate to contact Thomas if ever in future have need for Environmental Services. I am keeping his contact info handy for (hoepelly not needed) future house acidents! Thank you Thomas! Sonia B, Redondo Beach read more

Ewaste Disposal took care of business snd got my kitchen renovation back on track. Finding asbestos when I tore into layers of flooring material sucked. I was fortunate enough to choose the right company to get me through this ordeal. Tom, the owner, came over to look at what the project entailed. I shopped around and discovered that abatement wasn't cheap. I also discovered that theres a 10 day waiting period. His crew showed up and did a fantastic job. They were out in one day. I got a certificate showing that the material was removed properly and then manifest some time later. Tom's easy to work with and dependable. Thanks Tom. read more

I've written very few reviews but when I do it's because I feel a business has exceeded my expectations. I called eWaste Disposal to get a quote on removing my heating ducts which were lined with asbestos. Josh went above and beyond to educate me on asbestos, when it's dangerous and when it's not, and also provided me with multiple options I can choose on removing or leaving it alone. His approach to the situation was figuring out a way to help me without breaking the bank rather than trying to sell me a service as quickly as possible. After we discussed the numbers, Josh gave me an estimate that was 4x less than what I was expecting so I decided to schedule the work with his team. He explained that because of the high volume of work they're dealing with it would take about 3 weeks to get someone out to my house, I didn't have a problem since it's a new house we're remodeling. About 15 minutes after our call, Josh called me back and told me he's got a couple guys that can come get the work done on the weekend! I only had to wait 4 days instead of 3 weeks. On top of that, the estimated time was 5-6 hours of work... these guys got it done in less than 3 hours. I'm overly impressed with Josh' customer support and his teams efficiency to get the work done as quickly and professionally as possible. I called Josh back for another job shortly after and he explained that there's other options I can look into that would save me a lot of money, I can truly appreciate this honesty. I will definitely be recommending this company to anyone who needs abatement work to be done. read more

We were doing a remodel when after pulling up the carpet we discovered cracked tile which could have been asbestos. We contacted Asbestos Removal , they suggested a test, we did do the test with a company in Westminster. It came back as asbestos. We had the waste bagged per instuctions, Asbestos Removal came right out, picked it up, gave us a receipt and disposed of the hazardous waste. read more

Great person, picked up the phone after hours. He put me in touch with the right people at no financial gain to him as it turned to be nothing serious. Few businesses like this. Piece of of mind is worth the call. read more

We worked with eWaste Disposal to have some asbestos ducts removed from our attic. Tom was very responsive in getting us a quote. I felt like their pricing was fair, and it was comparable to other quotes we'd received. We had the job scheduled quickly. The crew showed up on time. The crew leader explained their plan. They had to staple plastic to the ceiling to quarantine their work area- so I was a little concerned there would be small holes left behind- but I couldn't even tell where they'd placed the staples. They had the work done quickly- and sent me a text when they were finished. When I came home- the job site was clean- I couldn't even tell that workers had been in my house. Overall- great experience and I'd highly recommend eWaste Disposal. read more

I contacted several asbestos removal companies and I gave eWaste Disposal my business because Thomas took the time to explain the entire process from acquiring a permit to physically removing the asbestos structures. He answered my questions via email and his detailed responses gave me the confidence to select his company. His quote wasn't the cheapest nor the most expensive but his communication was the best. On the day of the asbestos removal, the team was very clean and all of the work was self-contained. His workers were polite and they conducted themselves in a professional manner. We were very impressed with the quality of the work and the cleanliness of the work area. I highly recommend eWaste Disposal to anyone who needs their services. read more

Right in the middle of a time critical project we ran into a big snag with some floor tiling. Project came to a screeching halt. Sadness. Reached out to Tom and he was incredibly responsive and accomodating. He helped us get through the abatement process quickly, efficiently and got us going again. He and the abatement team were very professional and did an amazing job. That project got back on track and I'm thrilled with the way Tom and team delivered. Highly recommend. Thank you Tom! read more
