At Curie Environmental Services, our mission is rooted in protecting people and the planet through responsible radioactive materials management. As a fully licensed and innovative provider, we offer innovative recycling and disposal solutions that meet the highest standards of safety, compliance, and environmental stewardship.
Serving industries such as healthcare, remediation & construction, education, and biopharma, we bring tailored solutions to every project—on-site and off-site. Our regulatory expertise is a cornerstone of our work. Curie is licensed by the State of New Mexico to manage over 70 radioactive isotopes at our Albuquerque facility and authorized to perform radiological field services at client locations across the country. We also hold a general license from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (10 CFR Part 110.27) for the import of radioactive materials, ensuring global reach and compliance.
With a spotless regulatory record and a clear purpose, Curie is where precision meets progress.
Radioactive materials are hiding in plain sight — in smoke alarms, exit signs, gauges, and more. Across hospitals, schools, and job sites, these items are often forgotten, stored indefinitely, or worse — thrown in the trash.
Improper disposal doesn’t just risk violations. It adds to a growing, unseen waste stream that doesn’t belong in municipal landfills.
Compliance Made Simple: Curie helps you meet regulatory obligations with ease — from sorting through legacy waste to handling packaging, transportation, and safe recycling. No guesswork. No shortcuts. Just reliable, turnkey solutions backed by deep regulatory expertise.
Hundreds of thousands of radioactive items are discarded every year — many incorrectly. Our recycling programs are built to intercept them, keeping hazardous materials out of the waste stream and putting environmental responsibility back in your hands.
