What Quest Resource Management Group does

Quest Resource Management Group (NASDAQ: QRHC) is a The Colony, Texas-based provider of managed enterprise waste and recycling services, founded in 2007 and operating with 51–100 employees. The company serves large multi-location businesses across nine verticals — Automotive, Transportation/Logistics, Hospitality/Restaurant, Retail, Grocery, Manufacturing, Construction, Healthcare, and Multifamily Properties — using a single-source managed-services model covering 130+ waste streams including hazardous materials, food waste, recyclables, and specialty items such as hangers and cardboard.

The core platform combines an AI-driven analytics engine (the Quest Analytics Platform and a Customer Analytics Portal at analytics.questrmg.com) with a vetted national vendor network of haulers, recyclers, and specialty waste providers subject to 75-point biennial audits and monthly scorecards. Quest's product surface includes Enterprise Waste and Recycling Solutions, Enterprise Account Management, Equipment Rental and Purchase, Quest Proganics® (a food-waste-to-compost closed-loop program launched in late 2023), Sustainability & ESG Support, the Quest Vendor Network, the Quest Diversity Spend Program, and an exclusive RoundTrip EV partnership for fleet electrification. The company is led by CEO Perry Moss, who took the role ahead of his first-anniversary reflections published in 2024.

Quest generates revenue through quote-based, multi-year managed-services contracts priced per enterprise engagement and billed via a single consolidated invoice that aggregates all locations and waste streams. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales with dedicated account specialists providing 24/7 support; named customers include AutoNation, Bridgestone, Dollar General, Wegmans, CSX, John Deere, West Marine, Royal American Management, Golden State Foods, Arcosa, and Amerit, with documented outcomes including 22% Year-2 and 19% Year-3 savings for a national grocery chain and landfill-diversion improvements from 50% to 80% for a heavy-equipment manufacturer.

Broad incumbents

• Clean Harbors: Clean Harbors is a leading provider of environmental and industrial services, including hazardous waste management and recycling. It competes with Quest in hazardous waste collection and disposal for enterprise and industrial customers, but at much larger scale and with owned treatment/disposal facilities.
• Republic Services: Republic Services is the second-largest U.S. solid waste and recycling company, serving municipal, commercial, and industrial customers across the country. It competes with Quest for enterprise multi-location accounts and offers recycling and ESG-focused services at much greater scale.
• Stericycle: Stericycle provides regulated waste and compliance services, including hazardous waste management and document destruction, to enterprise and healthcare customers. Quest overlaps in hazardous and universal waste streams and shares the enterprise multi-location GTM motion.
• Waste Management, Inc. WM is the largest North American solid waste and recycling services provider with a national hauling, transfer, and disposal footprint. Quest is most comparable as a competing national enterprise waste and recycling provider serving multi-location businesses, though WM owns assets directly while Quest runs an asset-light vendor-coordination model.

Direct peers

• Heritage Environmental Services: Heritage provides hazardous waste management, industrial services, and recycling across North America, including hazardous and universal waste collection for enterprise customers. It overlaps directly with Quest's hazardous waste streams and enterprise customer base.
• Rubicon Technologies: Rubicon provides a tech-enabled waste and recycling management platform for businesses and haulers, with a SaaS-and-services business model targeting enterprise customers. Rubicon is the closest direct competitor to Quest's AI-driven analytics-plus-vendor-network approach.

Emerging players

• Recycle Track Systems (RTS): RTS is a tech-driven waste and recycling management company serving commercial and enterprise customers with data analytics and sustainability reporting. Comparable to Quest as a managed-services challenger using technology to differentiate from traditional haulers, though smaller in scale.
