APEX Environmental
For Nashville-area clients, disposal and recycling run through our affiliated company, Apex Environmental. Established in 2002, Apex focuses on environmentally responsible handling of nonhazardous liquids, sludges, and solids. Located at 75 South Union Street, Auburn, KY, the facility specializes in solidifying non-hazardous liquid waste, with bulk and containerized options.
A streamlined profiling process means fast approvals, and on arrival waste is stabilized with absorbent material to keep it out of landfills. Four 30,000-gallon mixing pits, among the largest in the nation, add capacity and efficiency, and Apex is advancing custom batches for waste-to-energy use so clients can repurpose waste as a heat resource. The facility runs under strict regulatory standards for safe, compliant, sustainable handling.
