APEX Environmental
Disposal and recycling run through our affiliated company, Apex Environmental, right here in the region.

Four 30,000-gallon mixing pits, among the largest in the nation, expand capacity and efficiency, and Apex is advancing custom waste-to-energy batches that let clients repurpose waste as a heat resource. The facility runs under strict regulatory standards for safe, compliant, responsible handling.
