Clean Harbors expands Los Angeles hub amid industrial reshoring demand
What happened
Clean Harbors reported record quarterly revenue of $1.87 billion and raised its full-year outlook during its third-quarter 2026 earnings call. The company is investing $55 million to purchase property in Los Angeles, which will allow it to consolidate six legacy facilities into a single West Coast operational hub.

Why it matters
The expansion is driven by increased demand for specialized waste handling resulting from industrial manufacturing returning to North America. Clean Harbors noted that the Environmental Services segment is securing long-term commercial agreements as customers consolidate their waste vendors.
