Thomas Toy, 75, of Elmer owned Superior Barrel and Drum Company, based in Glassboro. The firm cleaned and processed industrial-sized metal drums before reselling them.
He was supposed to safely dispose of hazardous materials, but instead kept them on site, despite lacking a permit to do that. The feds came in to clean the place up seven years ago, removing 1,800 waste containers at a cost of $4.2 million.
Federal Judge Renee Bumb ordered Toy to make reimbursement and serve three years of supervised release, after 30 days of home confinement.
