ITEM 2.       PROPERTIES

Our principal executive offices are in Norwell, Massachusetts. We own our primary executive office building in Massachusetts which occupies 104,000 square feet. We also currently lease 59,300 square feet of additional office space in Norwell, Massachusetts under arrangements which do not expire until 2042. We have regional administrative offices in Texas, Canada and India. Our properties are sufficient and suitable for our current needs. 

We have over 870 operating locations housed at approximately 630 properties covering all 50 states, nine Canadian provinces, Puerto Rico and Mexico. These operating locations include service centers, branches, satellite locations, active hazardous waste management properties and oil processing, blending and packaging facilities. Many of our properties offer multiple capabilities. The following sets forth certain information regarding our key properties as of December 31, 2024.

Service Centers, Branches and Satellite Locations

We have more than 580 service centers, branches and satellite locations, across approximately 462 locations throughout the United States and Canada. These serve as principal sales and service centers from which we provide our environmental, industrial and Safety-Kleen branch core services for our Environmental Services business as well as oil collection and product sales locations for our Safety-Kleen Sustainability Solutions (“SKSS”) business. 

Active Hazardous Waste Management Properties

Incinerator Facilities.    We own and operate five incinerator facility locations that have a total of ten incinerators, including our new incinerator at Kimball, Nebraska which opened in late 2024. The nine incinerators that were operational during the full year had an overall average utilization of 87.6% on an annual practical capacity of 561,721 tons. Our practical capacity is not based on a theoretical 24-hour, seven-day operation, but rather is determined as the production level at which our incinerators can operate with an acceptable degree of efficiency, taking into consideration factors such as longer term customer demand, permanent staffing levels, operating shifts, holidays, scheduled maintenance and mix of the waste processed. Capacity utilization is calculated by dividing actual production tons by practical capacity at each incinerator. The following table summarizes the practical capacity and utilization for each incinerator for the year ended December 31, 2024:# of IncineratorsPractical Capacity (Tons)Utilization Rate Year Ended December 31, 2024Arkansas(1)3160,07295.9%Nebraska(2)258,80886
