Description: CLH Clean Harbors January 03, 2026

Clean Harbors, Inc. (NYSE: CLH) delivers environmental and industrial services across the U.S. and Canada through two primary segments. The Environmental Services segment handles the full waste lifecycle-collection, transport, treatment, and disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous materials, including specialized services such as incineration, landfill disposal, wastewater treatment, laboratory chemical handling, and explosives management. The Safety-Kleen Sustainability Solutions segment focuses on containerized waste, parts-washer, and vacuum services for automotive, industrial, and retail customers, and also manufactures and packages lubricants and related products.

Key recent metrics: FY 2023 revenue reached roughly $5.1 billion, with adjusted EBITDA margin around 13%, and the company reported a 5% year-over-year increase in hazardous waste volumes-driven by tighter environmental regulations and continued demand from the oil-and-gas sector. Capital expenditures have been directed toward expanding its waste-to-energy facilities, a sector trend that can improve margin resilience as energy prices rise. The balance sheet remains strong, with a net debt-to-EBITDA ratio near 2.2×, providing flexibility for strategic acquisitions.
