Hazco purchases Western Waste Management

Hazco is pleased to announce its recent purchase of Western Waste Management (WWM). WWM is a Vancouver-based company which provides filter press, dredging and tank rentals services across Western Canada and the Northwest United States.

Several of WWM employees have joined the HAZCO team, most notably Mike Dow, who will assume the role of operations coordinator.

The WWM team brings over 25 years experience as owner operators of a fleet of filterpresses, mix-tans, liquid storage tanks, dredge and ancillary equipment. This selection of equipment will allow us to set up operations in isolation and also provide our own power to operate the equipment.

This is a natural fit for Hazco as many of WWM customers are existing HAZCO customers. This acquisition will solidify HAZCO’s position as one of the only comprehensive environmental companies in Canada . allowing us to service all our clients’ environmental needs in house.

WWM will now be placed under the HAZCO umbrella and operate wholly and solely as a division within HAZCO.

New helping old

Recently we had a pump break down at our Beaverlodge transfer station and the Edmonton transfer station came through with a replacement for us. As fluid transfer is an integral part of our business having a working pump is important to us. The Edmonton team definitely deserves a pat on the back for this support.
