Remediation
Clean Earth
Clean Earth treats, recycles and disposes of hazardous and non-hazardous waste, contaminated soil and dredged material. Customers span commercial development, construction, consulting and engineering, industrial and consumer products manufacturing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, retail, healthcare and transportation. For property owners the relevant work is finding a permitted outlet for soil and debris generated by demolition, excavation and brownfield redevelopment.
The work runs through a network of permitted treatment, storage and disposal facilities plus a purpose-built transportation fleet of vacuum trucks, tankers and specialty vehicles, with routing designed to cut trips and maximize load efficiency. Onsite services place trained technicians at a customer's site to run waste profiling, container preparation for shipment, RCRA accumulation-area inspections with digital tracking, and facility compliance assessments. The lab pack program handles small-container chemical identification, inventory documentation, segregation and DOT-compliant packaging of flammables, corrosives, toxics and oxidizers.
The company reports 93 locations nationwide including 19 TSDFs, service to more than 50,000 generators annually, and more than 40 years in regulated waste management. Its published 2024 figures include 4,100,000 tons of waste recycled, 3,100,000 tons of contaminated soil recycled and 301,000 tons of dredged material processed.
Prices are not published and disposal is quoted per waste stream. The site also states that Clean Earth is now Veolia and directs readers to veolianorthamerica.com/cleanearth, so a buyer should confirm which entity will sign the contract and which permits cover the specific material being moved.
