Where this facility sits in the TRI record
Among the 261 Hazardous Waste facilities in this database, Tms International LLC reports the 132nd-largest volume (3.8K lbs).
Placement is computed from reported TRI pounds in this database. Thresholds are fixed across every facility page: concentrated ≥60% of volume in one chemical, county-dominant ≥25% of the county total, carcinogen-heavy ≥50% of pounds. Share-based statements are shown only for sites reporting at least 1,000 lbs, because a share of a very small total is not a meaningful signal. Reported pounds are self-reported estimates and do not measure toxicity or health risk.
Tms International LLC files annual Form R disclosures to the EPA Toxics Release Inventory under EPCRA Section 313, classified under NAICS 562920 (Hazardous Waste). Across 5 years of records spanning 2019–2023, the site has disclosed 3.8K lbs in cumulative toxic releases across 10 distinct chemicals, 2 of which (20%) carry a carcinogenic classification. Largest chemicals by pounds: Chromium compounds (except for chromite ore mined in the Transvaal Region); Nickel compounds; Manganese compounds; Chromium and Chromium Compounds(except for chromite ore mined in the Transvaal Region).
The dominant release pathway is air releases at 3.8K lbs (100.0% of total volume). Between 2019 and 2023, reported totals increased by 4% - from 769 lbs to 799 lbs. The facility is operated under parent company Tms International Corp alongside Tms International LLC; Tms International LLC; Tms International LLC; Tms International Llc/new Castle Plt.

Similar-scale peers outside Alabama: Safety-Kleen Systems Vinton (roa); Safety-Kleen Systems Millington (mil); Safety-Kleen Systems Inc.; Arcwood Environmental - Orange LLC.
TRI Form R values are self-reported estimates, not measured stack emissions, and treat every pound of reported chemical equally regardless of toxicity. Inclusion in the TRI database does not establish a health risk to nearby residents; it documents the annual reporting record that Tms International LLC has filed with the EPA under federal community right-to-know requirements - open Ssab Alabama Inc for a different chemical mix before treating volume as risk.

About TRI Data
Data as of 2023 reporting year. Source: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Toxic Release Inventory.
Data comes from the EPA Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) program. Facilities that manufacture, process, or otherwise use listed toxic chemicals above threshold amounts are required to report annually to the EPA.
On this page the largest disclosed chemicals include Chromium compounds (except for chromite ore mined in the Transvaal Region), Nickel compounds, Manganese compounds, Chromium and Chromium Compounds(except for chromite ore mined in the Transvaal Region); nearby reporters include Ssab Alabama Inc. "Total releases" includes air, water, land, and off-site transfers for disposal, aggregated across available reporting years. Quantities are self-reported estimates, not measured stack emissions.
PlainEnviro presents this data without advocacy framing. The presence of a facility in the TRI database does not by itself indicate a health risk. For site-specific health questions, consult your local environmental or health agency.
