Safety-Kleen Opens Springdale Branch, Supporting NW Arkansas

 Parts washer and containerized waste services focus of new branch

PLANO, TX – May 18, 2009 – Safety-Kleen announced today the opening of its Springdale, Ark., branch facility to support customers in the greater Northwest Arkansas, Fort Smith and Southern Missouri area.  The facility will offer containerized waste services and a full-line of parts washer equipment and related services. 

“Safety-Kleen recognizes the need for environmental services to support businesses in this growing area,” said Mark Zimmerman, Safety-Kleen senior vice president, central division. “Our goal is to help keep regional businesses in regulatory compliance, and in balance with the environment, by providing environmentally-responsible services designed to minimize waste production and recycle materials whenever possible.”

This new Safety-Kleen branch in Springdale has 4,000 square feet of office and warehouse storage space.  The facility will not process waste on-site; all materials collected will be transferred to the company’s recycling center in Denton, Texas, for processing.

“Customers choose Safety-Kleen because of our commitment to service, our extensive liability protection and our focus on sustainable solutions,” said Zimmerman. “We look forward to providing customers in Northwest Arkansas and Southern Missouri with the best waste management solutions that are also the most environmentally responsible.”
