On July 9, 2025, Virtua Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Camden, NJ, experienced an incident that required immediate hazardous waste cleanup and decontamination. First Call Environmental responded quickly and professionally, providing clear communication, timely updates despite severe weather delays, and a highly efficient on-site response team. Within hours, two contaminated patient rooms were safely decontaminated, and all hazardous materials were secured for proper disposal. Thanks to their swift action, patient and staff safety were protected, and the rooms were returned to service without extended downtime.

Reliability & Sustainability Contract Manager, Virtua Health

I have worked with First Call Environmental on our ambulance bay decontamination tank cleanings and disposal since August of 2024 and have been extremely pleased with their professionalism, work ethic and customer service.  First Call Environmental has been great to work with and has provided exceptional service on every project.  Thank you!!

First Call Environmental (FCE) has been a trusted partner in servicing our client portfolio, which includes transportation, manufacturing, and convenience store operations located in numerous states along the Eastern Seaboard and in the Midwest. FCE personnel work closely with our site teams and/or project managers to ensure that released products are remediated as quickly and safely as possible.

Highlands Environmental Solutions (HES) also provides project support for FCE by offering professional geologists and engineers, including “boots on the ground” oversight during excavation of impacted soil, along with confirmation sampling and regulatory reporting.

FCE has supported hundreds of projects for HES over the past seven years. They have consistently worked with us to ensure client satisfaction with every outcome. FCE is an important part of our national network, with numerous service centers located in the areas where HES supports our clients’ emergency response programs.

I highly recommend First Call Environmental and look forward to continuing our collaboration for many years to come.

Sincerely,

Kendall Sutler

Sr Project Manager, Highlands Environmental Solutions

We at EFI Canada have been utilizing First Call Environmental for several years across many different States and cannot speak highly enough for the emergency response services, communication and management from all levels of their team. Their quick responses have saved our clients thousands of dollars and their attention to detail, client service and professionalism on scenes is outstanding and consistent across all their field offices. 

Great job to whole team from EFI Canada!

Environmental Team Lead, Central, EFI Global

Honestly, this whole experience was made so much more bearable once we switched over to your company. From the first hour of being on site we were let down by the previous environmental contractor and the moment we decided to have First Call Environmental take over we had no questions on what was going on and no doubts that everything was being taken care of professionally and within a timely manner. I did not have to update the insurance company, and the communication was excellent. Please thank your team for us. We will have your number saved should this ever happen again.

Alyssa Draper

Manager, Southside Fuels

I wanted to reach out to the team at First Call Environmental to express my deepest gratitude for your help with our tanker accident in Zion Crossroads, VA.  When these things happen it is so stressful and trying to get vendor partners to the scene is a very important key to showing the state authorities and regulators that we are on top of the situation. Furthermore, the work that the First Call team did after the incident and the clean up as well as working with DOT and DEQ, was top notch.

I am so glad we have First Call as our environmental partner in our service areas.

In the future, we know you are just a phone call away. If you are ever in need of any help, MPE is here for you as well.

Michael Pittman

President, M Pittman Enterprises L.C.

Over the course of the last five years, we have contracted First Call Environmental four times for emergency response situations. They have exceeded all expectations by assisting in crucial events that arise unexpectedly. The company as a whole has excellent communication skills not only with me but within their own team. Communication is essential in disastrous situations and speaks highly of the organization and its members involved. First Call Environmental adapts quickly to the task at hand and effectively resolves any issue to the best of their abilities. The company is well-rounded and performs at all levels from the guys on the site to the project managers to upper management and everyone in-between. First Call Environmental will remain my “First Call” when an emergency situation arises.

 

Will Edwards

Environmental Manager, Parker Oil Co. Inc

Both First Call Environmental and United Rentals offer a large variety of products and services. I never know what’s on the other end of a phone call from First Call, but I’m always impressed with what our teams can pull off working together. Whether First Call is requesting equipment or United Rentals is requesting a cleanup, having business partners you can rely on makes everybody’s life easier.
