Clean Harbors, Inc. (NYSE: CLH) is a Norwell, Massachusetts-based provider of environmental and industrial services operating across the United States and Canada. Founded in 1980 and publicly listed since 1987, the company is organized into two reporting segments: Environmental Services, which handles the collection, treatment, recycling, and disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous waste, as well as specialty industrial and field services; and Safety-Kleen Sustainability Solutions, which supplies containerized waste, parts-washer, vacuum, and solvent services primarily to automotive, industrial, and retail customers. The business is capital-intensive and heavily regulated, with operations spanning landfills, incinerators, wastewater treatment plants, and recycling facilities. Its positioning within the Environmental & Facilities Services sub-industry places it among the largest North American players in the integrated hazardous waste management market, serving a customer base that spans manufacturing, automotive maintenance, retail, and government clients.
