We have been in continuous operation since 1971. Our facility has been designed and constructed to meet or exceed all state and federal requirements. In our operations, we must comply with strict requirements put in place to protect the land, water and air of Indiana, so you can rest easy knowing that your waste is being managed in the most environmentally responsible way possible.
