ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP
our future
our responsibility
managing environmental risk
is our business
Industrial waste is tough – it can be dangerous if not handled properly. We have the best tools, people and processes in place to ensure we’re protecting the only planet we’ve got.
SECURE strives to meet or exceed all regulatory requirements. We monitor our environmental performance on an ongoing basis and report quarterly to the ESG Committee of the Board of Directors.
THIS IS
HOW WE DO IT
EFFICIENT WATER USE
EFFICIENT WATER USE
Clean water is an essential resource for people, communities and the environment. SECURE strives to minimize the amount of water used in our operations and adhere to standards designed to protect water quality.
LEACHATE MANAGEMENT
LEACHATE MANAGEMENT
Environmental protection is a primary objective in the design, construction, operation and closure lifespan of SECURE’s network landfills. Our engineered landfill cells are designed and constructed with leachate collection systems to effectively remove the by-product. It’s then transported by truck or pipeline for safe disposal at our Deep Injection Disposal Wells.
SPILL MANAGEMENT
SPILL MANAGEMENT
SECURE’s ‘Every Drop Matters’ program outlines how every employee and contractor can make a difference in spill prevention and minimize the negative environmental impacts of spills. We emphasize the importance of reporting - regardless of the severity - so we can collect the data, investigate the root cause and make changes to prevent future spills.
