Company snapshot — Clean Harbors Inc

CLH in five paragraphs: what it makes and sells, where it sits in the Closelooknet stack, who it is priced against, why we track it, what we watch. Research diary, not advice.

What it does
Clean Harbors collects, treats and disposes of hazardous and non-hazardous waste across the United States and Canada. Its Environmental Services arm handles industrial waste, incineration, landfill disposal and chemical clean-ups, while its Safety-Kleen unit serves garages, dealers and manufacturers with parts-washing, solvent recycling and used-oil collection. It is based in Norwell, Massachusetts.
Where it sits in the stack
Clean Harbors sits in our Circular Economy & Resource Security sleeve within the HALO Growth 100, our growth index outside the megacaps. The sleeve tracks firms managing waste, recycling and resource take-back as scarcity and environmental rules reshape disposal economics; Clean Harbors is a customer of that shift, earning from the volume of hazardous material that must be processed rather than dumped.
Who it is priced against
Closelooknet's peer group places it with waste and recycling names such as Waste Connections, Veolia, Tomra Systems and critical-mineral suppliers including Freeport-McMoran, Albemarle, Ivanhoe Mines and MP Materials, framed around resource scarcity and ESG mandates repricing the take-back loop; the market also compares it with Republic Services.
Why Closelooknet tracks it
It holds a seat in the HALO Growth 100 and carries a Closelooknet score, where the momentum module reads strongest and the quality module reads weakest.
What the diary watches
