- US Ecology, Inc. (ECOLW) operates as a leading provider of environmental services to commercial and government entities throughout North America, specializing in the treatment, disposal, recycling, and beneficial reuse of hazardous, non-hazardous, radioactive, and specialty waste; it offers vertically integrated field and industrial services including logistics such as specialty waste packaging, lab packs, transportation, and total waste management, alongside response solutions encompassing emergency response, oil spill standby and cleanup, remediation, industrial cleaning, vacuum services, and equipment rental. The company maintains a nationwide network of nine specialty waste landfills including five hazardous waste facilities, 16 RCRA-permitted treatment, storage, and disposal facilities (TSDFs), seven wastewater treatment plants, and over 80 field locations for environmental services, with particular expertise in E&P waste solutions for oil and gas operations in basins like Eagle Ford, Permian, and others across Texas, North Dakota, and Wyoming. Founded in 1952 and headquartered in Boise, Idaho, US Ecology serves industries such as manufacturing, energy, transportation, refineries, utilities, and medical institutions across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, delivering turnkey programs for complex waste streams including PFAS, PCBs, NORM, and inorganic metals while emphasizing safety, regulatory compliance, and sustainability through recycling initiatives like metals, glycols, oils, and aerosols. In 2022, Republic Services acquired US Ecology for approximately $2.2 billion, vertically integrating its operations to expand environmental solutions from collection through disposal, enhance cross-selling opportunities, and achieve around $40 million in projected cost synergies, with the combined entity now operating US Ecology's assets under Republic's umbrella to bolster ESG performance via innovations in fleet electrification, landfill gas-to-energy conversion, and circular material recovery targets aiming for 35% Scope 1 and 2 emissions reductions by 2030.
