New York's First Dedicated Cannabis Waste Management Company
Built by Cannabis People. For Cannabis People.
Every regulated waste stream your operation generates, biomass, vape devices, product destruction, lithium-ion batteries, packaging, handled compliantly, sustainably, and under one roof. We speak OCM and METRC natively, because we came from this industry, not into it.
Why Operators Choose HEWM
COMPLIANCE
All-Encompassing Compliance
We don't just handle one waste type. One partner, every stream, biomass, vape devices, product destruction, batteries, packaging, under one compliant framework.
SPECIALIZATION
Purpose-Built for Cannabis
This isn't a service we bolted onto an existing waste business. Cannabis waste is the core of what we do, built for what no one else will touch.
EXPERTISE
Cannabis People, Not Waste People
We understand OCM, METRC, license types, and compliance requirements from the inside, not as outsiders learning the industry on your dime.

Waste Management That Actually Understands Cannabis
Managing regulated waste in a licensed cannabis operation is not the same problem a general commercial hauler is built to solve. Vape device disposal, product destruction, and biomass all carry their own compliance requirements, and getting it wrong puts your license at risk, not just your bottom line. HEWM was built specifically to solve this, with documented, manifested chain-of-custody on every single pickup.
Identify
We assess your waste streams and build a compliant plan before we ever show up.
Schedule
Connected with our Client Relations team, we handle the logistics.
Collect
We arrive, document the handoff, and take it off your hands, compliantly.
Process
Every material is sorted, separated, and routed to the right downstream handler.
Document
You get a signed manifest and full chain-of-custody record. Every single pickup.
Who We Work With
Solutions for Every Part of the Supply Chain
Retail Dispensaries
"Your vapes have somewhere to go, and you'll have the documentation to prove it."
Brand Sponsors
"Put your name at the sustainability moment, and offset your waste costs doing it."
Just a Text Away
We respond fast, because waste doesn't wait for business hours. When storage is maxed, a recall hits, or OCM comes calling, you get a real person, not a ticket queue.
We put the planet before profit.
