Clean Harbors, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “we,” “Clean Harbors” or the “Company”) is a leading provider of sustainable environmental and industrial services throughout North America. Everywhere industry meets the environment, we strive to provide eco-friendly services and products that protect and restore North America's natural environment. We are also the largest provider of parts cleaning and related environmental services to general manufacturing, automotive and commercial customers in North America and the largest re-refiner and recycler of used oil in North America. One of our primary goals as a company is supporting our customers in providing environmentally responsible solutions to further their sustainability goals in today's rapidly changing world. 

We have two operating segments through which the Company conducts its operations: (i) the Environmental Services segment and (ii) the Safety-Kleen Sustainability Solutions segment. 

•Environmental Services - Our Environmental Services businesses offer an array of services to customers. We safely collect, transport, treat and dispose of hazardous and non-hazardous waste through our network of over 100 waste disposal facilities including incinerators, landfills, treatment, storage and disposal facilities (“TSDFs”), wastewater treatment facilities and solvent recycling centers. Our emergency response services leverage specialized equipment, expertise and responsiveness to support our customers and our teams can address the per- and poly-fluorinated alkyl substances (“PFAS”) needs of our customers from testing to disposal. We leverage our assets to perform a wide range of industrial maintenance and specialty industrial services, both planned and unplanned. We collect containerized waste and provide parts washer and vacuum services to small quantity generators of hazardous waste. All of these services are designed to protect the environment and address environmental related challenges through the use of innovation and the latest technologies. We provide customers with sustainable solutions that seek to recycle waste materials whenever possible.

•Safety-Kleen Sustainability Solutions - Our Safety-Kleen Sustainability Solutions (“SKSS”) business offerings span the life-cycle of sustainable lubricant products. Our teams collect used oil which serves as feedstock for our oil re-refineries. At these facilities, we manufacture, formulate and package high quality lubricants which are returned to the marketplace, providing our customers with sustainable solutions to meet their oil and lubricant demands.
