 also address damage caused by hurricanes, wildfires, earthquakes and storms. These opportunities can vary in size, complexity and duration, however, in any case we aim to be the first call customers make in these situations. We can also provide turnkey offsite transportation and disposal services throughout our disposal network for soil and other contaminated materials generated from remediation activities. 

Business Overview

We operate our business in two segments: Environmental Services and SKSS. Each segment utilizes our network of specialized facilities and equipment, along with our skilled workforce, to meet the needs of our customers. Further, each has individual key performance indicators that management uses to assess results as well as certain macroeconomic trends and influences that impact the results.

Environmental Services

Our Environmental Services business offers an array of services to customers. We safely collect, transport, treat and dispose of hazardous and non-hazardous waste, including resource recovery, physical treatment, incineration, landfill disposal, wastewater treatment, lab chemical disposal, explosives management and CleanPack® services. Our CleanPack® services include the collection, identification, categorization, specialized packaging, transportation and disposal of laboratory chemicals and household hazardous waste. As noted above, in 2024 we launched our Total PFAS Solutions service, providing our customers with a single source provider of PFAS handling from sampling to remediation and disposal. We also perform a wide range of industrial maintenance and specialty industrial services and utilize specialty equipment and resources to perform services at any chosen location on a planned or emergency response basis. Additionally, we collect containerized waste and provide parts washer and vacuum services to small quantity generators of hazardous waste.

We offer sustainable solutions that aim to recycle waste materials whenever possible.

Environmental Services results are also impacted by the demand for planned and unplanned industrial related cleaning and maintenance services at customer sites. The nature and frequency of environmental cleanup services on a scheduled or emergency basis, including response to large scale events such as major chemical spills, natural disasters, or other instances where immediate and specialized services are required, impacts segment results.

These results are driven by the volumes of waste collected from
