Drug and Alcohol Testing Services/Preferred Pricing

Drug and alcohol testing is a regulatory requirement. NSWMA has created a partnership with Concorde, Inc., its endorsed supplier to provide NSWMA members with drug and alcohol testing services. Concorde provides a turnkey program which gives members everything they need to have a compliant, low maintenance, high-quality substance abuse testing program that meets all the requirements of the U.S. Department of Transportation and all federal, state and local requirements. NSWMA members will receive preferred pricing from Concorde, which offers a single point of contact and consolidated billing to companies who operate multiple locations.

Concorde, a recognized leader in substance abuse testing, offers a national network of 5,000 clinic collection sites as well as 1,400 on-site collectors. A full-service provider, Concorde performs pre-employment background investigation screening, physical exams and litigation support. The Philadelphia-based company was founded in 1983 and immediately began serving the environmental industry.

Concorde understands the DOT requirements and what companies need to be compliant. Concorde has extensive experience managing DOT/FMCSA-compliant random pools. Concorde’s back-office computer systems, in place for 14 years, have been enhanced by a state-of-the-art, web-based reporting system that provides extremely fast turnaround on test results. Concorde serves many major players in our industry and has 22 years of solid waste industry experience. This program gives smaller companies the same advantages and services that previously only were available to really large companies.
