APTUS HAZARDOUS WASTE INCINERATOR


This major hazardous waste incinerator burns a minimum of 30,000 tons of solvents, paints, old chemicals, contaminated soils, and PCBs every year. It is owned by Safety Kleen, which owns another major chemical waste incinerator a few miles west at Clive. Safety Kleen is one of the largest hazardous waste companies in the world. Former operators of Aptus include Rollins Environmental Services, which recently bought it from Westinghouse.
