CONTAMINATED SOIL TREATMENT & RECYCLING SERVICES

WHAT WE HANDLE

Handling diverse soil profiles all under one roof.

With the ability to handle various types of contaminated soil from one site, we offer a comprehensive, turnkey approach that maintains regulatory conformity and reduces operational complexity across your soil remediation project.

  • Metal Impacted Soil
  • Non-Hazardous Soil
  • RCRA Categorized Soil
  • Petroleum Impacted Soil
  • MGP - Coal Tar Contaminated Soil
  • PCB - TSCA & Non-TSCA Contaminated Soil

Professionally processed from reclaimed concrete and rock, our recycled aggregate provides a reliable, high-quality alternative to traditional virgin stone, RCA, and DGA.

  • Gradations

    • 1.5” – 1.75” minus RCA

    • 2”–6” minus (low fines)

    • Larger oversized material and landscape boulder

  • Applications

    • Roadway, driveway, and parking lot base

    • Structural and non-structural backfill

    • Utility trenches and stabilization layers

    • Jobsite access roads and track-out pads

    • Site leveling, staging areas, and tank bases

    • Brownfield capping and remediation

  • A Sustainable Solution

    • Diversion of usable material from landfills

    • Conservation of virgin aggregate resources

    • Lower environmental impact compared to mined materials

    • Supports circular construction practices

With our specialized technologies and strategically-located processing facilities, Clean Earth provides you with flexible recycling solutions for diverse contaminated soil types.

  • Chemical Fixation: Stabilizes hydrocarbon or metal-contaminated soil by blending material with chemical additives that bind contaminants and prevent leaching.

  • Thermal Desorption: Heats contaminated soil in a rotating dryer to remove hydrocarbons. Ideal for high contamination levels such as MGP soils.

  • Bioremediation: Uses engineered microorganisms to break down petroleum hydrocarbons in lightly contaminated soils.

  • Physical Treatment: Sizing and segregation processes remove unsuitable materials and produce engineered fill suitable for beneficial reuse.

Onsite soil remediation treats contamination at its source cutting delays, reducing costs, and removing the need for hauling. By keeping treatment in place, projects progress faster with fewer logistical hurdles and minimal impact on active sites.

  • Onsite Stabilization

    • Mixing contaminated soils with additives that immobilize contaminants and reduce leaching risk.

  • Onsite Thermal Treatment

    • Portable treatment units allow large volumes of contaminated soil to be treated directly at the remediation site.

  • Hazardous Soil & Sediment Treatment

    • Stabilization and solidification techniques convert contaminants into less soluble or mobile forms.

  • Onsite Soil Remediation

    • Beneficial reuse of treated soil

    • Treatment directly at the source

    • Reduced environmental footprint

    • Reduced transportation costs

    • Limited off-site material movement

    • Expanded contaminant treatment range
