As convenience stores continue to expand their operational footprints, it is vital that they are prepared to manage an increased volume of waste. While regional convenience store chains may rely on local waste providers to address their unique waste streams fitting their smaller operations, growing chains should consider the advantages of waste solutions providers with national reach. Nationally trusted waste service providers, like Clean Earth, have the necessary expertise in regulations across regions and can help convenience store operators maintain compliance across their footprints.

Benefits of a single waste services provider

Convenience store chains with national reach must comply with waste disposal regulations in their operating regions, varying from state to state. National waste solution providers, like Clean Earth, operate transfer, storage and disposal facilities (TSDFs) nationwide and are experts in maintaining compliance with regulations across regions. This compliance expertise offers peace of mind to growing convenience store chains.

Additionally, having one waste service partner chainwide can be less time-consuming for the operations teams of convenience store chains. A dedicated contact or team understands the convenience store’s unique needs and provides tailored services at the local and corporate levels to help streamline operations across a chain’s footprint.

End disposal options for unique waste streams

Convenience stores have ongoing specialty waste management needs, including items containing gasoline debris, loads with damaged goods, batteries and other universal and hazardous waste. Occasionally, they may require emergency response services to handle anything from fuel eruption to an unexpected delivery of excess damaged goods. These unique waste streams require specialized handling. Clean Earth is a trusted waste management partner providing specialized and emergency response services. But waste management does not end with pickup; waste must be classified correctly before end disposal.

Clean Earth offers a variety of downstream disposal options through in-house and outsourced services that can help chains achieve their sustainability goals. Waste disposal methods the company provides to convenience stores include:

  • Sending waste for specialized recycling and reuse for market re-entry
  • Waste-to-energy solutions using bulked waste to fuel other processes
  • Any combination of the above waste disposal methods

Waste removal and management is essential for convenience stores. Growing convenience store chains should rely on a national waste management provider to offer reliable, environmentally conscious solutions for every waste type across their footprints. Clean Earth provides convenience store customers with start-to-finish compliant services for local and national needs.
