What We Do

Since its inception, Liquid Waste Acceptance (LWA) has continually grown, and currently accepts approximately 200 trucks per day, as well as two barges and two ships per week. LWA has served clients from 11 different states from Maine to Virginia. LWA sales representatives can be contacted at 973-466-2567.
