Two Waste Management Stocks to Consider

American Ecology (ECOL) and Clean Harbors (CLHB) are in the business of waste management. They have contracts with big names such as Honeywell and Tyco International, respectively.

American Ecology Corporation (AEC) provides radioactive, hazardous, Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) and industrial waste management services to commercial and government entities, such as refineries and chemical production facilities, manufacturers, electric utilities, steel mills, medical and academic institutions. AEC operates within two segments: Operating Disposal Facilities and Non-Operating Disposal Facilities. The Operating Disposal Facilities accept hazardous and low-level radioactive waste [LLRW] and include AEC's Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 [RCRA] hazardous waste treatment and disposal facilities in Beatty, Nevada; Grand View, Idaho, and Robstown, Texas, and its LLRW disposal facility in Richland, Washington. The Non-Operating Disposal Facilities segment includes the Company's former disposal facilities in Sheffield, Illinois; Beatty, Nevada, and Bruneau, Idaho and a former hazardous waste processing and deep-well injection operation in Winona, Texas.
