You Can Do Better Than Waste Management. Buy Clean Harbors Instead.

The article argues that Clean Harbors (CLH) is a superior investment compared to Waste Management (WM). Clean Harbors specializes in hazardous waste management and benefits from tightening environmental regulations, particularly around PFAS remediation. The company demonstrated stronger Q2 performance with 12% revenue growth and 35.8% EPS growth, compared to WM's 4% revenue growth and 3% EPS decline. Clean Harbors' specialized infrastructure provides pricing power that municipal waste operators cannot replicate, though it lacks a dividend that WM offers.
