Clean Earth and Veolia North America Sign First-of-its-Kind Hazardous Waste Treatment Agreement
- Clean Earth will partner with Veolia North America on a five-year agreement to provide guaranteed incineration capacity in a new state-of-the-art waste treatment facility in Gum Springs, Ark.
- The agreement provides reliable, predictable, safe, and efficient waste disposal for Clean Earth customers.
- Technology at Veolia North America’s new facility offers treatment of environmental, household, and industrial waste.
“This unique agreement solves some of the constraints that have challenged the industry in the past several years,” said Jeff Beswick, President of Clean Earth. “We are pleased to partner with Veolia on an initiative that will benefit our customers and the nation.”

Veolia’s new facility will be powered by local decarbonizing energy generated directly on-site, North America’s first for a hazardous waste plant. The power will be supplied by capturing waste heat recovered from a boiler and steam turbine and generating five megawatts of on-site solar power per hour, creating a more sustainable option for the marketplace and benefiting consumers and the public. A plan to reforest nearly 1,500 acres surrounding the property will sequester carbon emissions, provide protection for local habitat, and prevent erosion.
Veolia North America will increase waste treatment access for Clean Earth throughout 2024 to ramp up activities for a smooth transition in 2025.
