Ecology Control Industries, Inc

What Ecology Control Industries, Inc does

Ecology Control Industries, Inc. (ECI) is a privately held environmental services company founded in 1976 and headquartered in Gardena, California. The company operates as an integrated full-service environmental solutions provider spanning hazardous and non-hazardous waste transportation, on-site waste management, environmental remediation, storm water management, industrial cleaning, and medical waste transportation. ECI's operations are anchored by a fleet of 100+ specialized vehicles (roll-off bins, end-dump trailers, vacuum trucks, super suckers) supported by strategically located terminals throughout California and service coverage extending across the Western United States, where it self-identifies as the largest storm water management company in the region. Core technology assets include proprietary storm water filtration products (Surf Gate, Debris Dam, Catch-All), remediation capabilities (stabilization/fixation, bioremediation, mobile thermal desorption, soil washing), and confined-space cleaning and sludge-removal equipment. ECI is licensed under federal frameworks (RCRA, CERCLA, TSCA), holds a 2025 California Department of Public Health Medical Waste Transporter license, and maintains ISNetworld Member Contractor status.

ECI's revenue model is predominantly project-based and quote-driven, with custom pricing tailored to service type, scope, and timeline across six core revenue streams: Transportation Services (transaction-fee based), On-Site Waste Management, Remediation Services, Industrial Cleaning, Storm Water Products and Management, and Medical Waste Transportation. The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales via phone (24/7 hotline at 310-354-9999) and website quote requests, with no disclosed standard pricing tiers and a multi-year contract cadence for anchor relationships. The company serves a diversified customer base including Fortune 500 industrial firms (aerospace, chemical, petroleum), healthcare facilities, and municipal governments — notably the City of Los Angeles, County of Los Angeles, City of Santa Barbara, and City of Beverly Hills as approved storm water vendors for over 20 years.

ECI employs 101–250 people and is independently owned with no disclosed parent company, institutional investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity in the available data. The company's competitive position rests on regulatory credentials, fleet scale, geographic distribution, and 49+ years of operational continuity rather than technology or AI differentiation. Strategic activity in 2025 has centered on fleet refresh (brand-new bins and containers), the medical waste service line buildout, and license renewals — consistent with steady operational reinvestment rather than transformational expansion.

Direct peers

• Clean Earth: Clean Earth is a national provider of hazardous and specialty waste treatment, recycling, and disposal services. It is a relevant comparable to ECI's hazardous waste handling and remediation capabilities, with broader geographic reach.
• PSC Environmental Services: PSC provides industrial cleaning, waste management, and specialty services to refineries, chemical plants, and utilities. It competes head-to-head with ECI in confined-space industrial cleaning, hydroblasting, and hazardous waste handling for energy and chemical customers.
• Stericycle: Stericycle is a leading regulated waste management company specializing in medical waste collection, transportation, and disposal for healthcare facilities. ECI's medical waste transportation business competes directly with Stericycle, though at a regional scale.
• Clean Harbors: Clean Harbors is the largest North American provider of hazardous waste management, environmental cleanup, and emergency response services. It directly competes with ECI across hazardous waste transportation, RCRA-compliant treatment/disposal, and industrial remediation, with a much larger national footprint.
• Heritage-Crystal Clean: Heritage-Crystal Clean provides industrial cleaning, hazardous and non-hazardous waste management, and used oil collection primarily across North America. It is a strong comparable to ECI's industrial cleaning and waste transportation segments serving petroleum and chemical customers.

Regional players

• Triumvirate Environmental: Triumvirate Environmental provides hazardous waste management, environmental cleanup, and industrial services primarily in the Northeast and Midwest U.S. It is comparable to ECI in service mix (waste transport, lab packing, remediation) but does not directly compete in ECI's Western U.S. footprint.
• Casella Waste Systems: Casella Waste Systems is a regional solid waste, recycling, and resource management services company operating across the Northeast U.S. While its core is solid waste rather than hazardous waste, it competes with ECI's non-hazardous waste transportation and storm water services in its footprint.

Broad incumbents

• Republic Services: Republic Services is one of the largest U.S. environmental services companies, offering solid waste, hazardous waste, and environmental remediation through its Republic Environmental Services subsidiary. It competes with ECI across multiple service lines but as a broader portfolio player.
• Waste Management, Inc. Waste Management is the largest North American provider of comprehensive waste management services, including industrial, hazardous, and specialized waste streams. It is a broad incumbent that overlaps with ECI's transportation and remediation offerings but at vastly greater scale.
• Veolia North America: Veolia operates hazardous waste treatment, disposal, industrial cleaning, and environmental remediation services across the U.S., often competing with ECI for large industrial and municipal accounts. It is a global environmental services incumbent with comparable service offerings.
