Contaminated Soil

With over 25 years of experience treating and recycling contaminated soil for beneficial reuses including construction fill and brownfield reclamation, Clean Earth has a longstanding legacy of environmental responsibility and stewardship.

Soils are contaminated when harmful chemicals accumulate on a piece of land. Typically because of previous industrial or agricultural activities, it reaches a point where they become or have the potential to become dangerous to people or other organisms in the surrounding natural environment. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that tens of thousands of contaminated sites remain in the United States that have the potential to cause environmental harm. Clean Earth plays an integral part in the process of remediating and reclaiming these lands for future productive uses.
