What Region 8 Enviro Does
Region 8 Enviro is a project-based contractor that works with businesses, property owners, and public entities. Its work falls into a few distinct lines, and the charge you’re looking at almost certainly reflects one of them.
On the waste side, the company handles RCRA-regulated hazardous waste, TSCA toxic chemical waste, non-hazardous and special waste, and low-level radioactive waste. It has operated as a permitted destination facility for universal waste since March 2005, recycling aerosol cans, batteries, lamps and bulbs, electronics, and mercury-containing devices.2Region 8 Enviro.

Why This Charge Might Appear on Your Statement
Region 8 Enviro’s customers are usually organizations, not walk-in consumers. If the charge is on your card or account, one of these situations is the likely explanation:
- You or your business directly arranged a waste pickup, recycling drop-off, or abatement project.
- A property manager, landlord, or homeowners’ association had work performed at your building and passed the cost through.
- An employer used your company card to pay for regulated waste disposal, electronics recycling, or a remediation job.
- A real estate transaction or insurance claim involved cleanup work, such as mold, asbestos, lead paint, or meth or fentanyl decontamination, billed to you.
How the Charge May Be Labeled
The descriptor on your statement may read as the full company name or a shortened version, such as “Region 8 Enviro” or “R8 Enviro.” The dollar amount will typically match a specific invoice rather than a recurring subscription, because the company’s work is project-based.
What to Do If You Don’t Recognize It
Before disputing the charge, check with anyone who might have arranged environmental work on your behalf: a property manager, building owner, employer, contractor, or family member with access to the account. If no one on your side authorized it, contact Region 8 Enviro directly through its website for a billing inquiry, and then follow your card issuer’s dispute process if the company cannot match the charge to a service you approved.
