Belshire

What Belshire does

Belshire, legally Belshire Environmental Services, is a private, 100% employee-owned environmental services company founded in 1991 and headquartered in Foothill Ranch, California, with a regional office in Novato serving Northern California. The company employs more than 125 trained professionals and operates across California and six additional US states, providing four interconnected service lines: licensed hazardous and non-hazardous waste transportation and disposal, supported by an owned 10-day hazardous waste storage facility in Southern California; UST/AST regulatory compliance testing, inspections, designated operator services, and CERS support for tank owners; environmental construction and field services including contaminated soil removal, UST/AST removals and installations, and wastewater clarifier work; and a proprietary compliance and document management platform called Petrotools that tracks regulatory due dates and delivers automated reports to customers at no charge, available 24/7/365.

The business model is transaction- and project-based across all four service lines, with no publicly disclosed pricing and quote-driven engagement for enterprise customers. Belshire's go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting Fortune 100 companies; the company states that no calls are routed to automated attendants during business hours. The customer base spans oil and gas (Shell, Chevron, ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips, Tesoro, Kinder Morgan, World Oil), retail fuel and grocery (7-Eleven, Circle K, Costco, ARCO AM/PM, Speedway, Ralphs, Albertsons Vons), construction (Lennar, AECOM, Burns McDonnell), automotive (AVIS), healthcare (Kaiser Permanente), telecommunications (AT&T), and transportation (LAX Airport). Competitive positioning rests on a dense stack of regulatory licenses (CSLB General Engineering A with HAZ endorsement, CHP HazMat, DOT, EPA, DTSC, United Carrier Registration), a 33-year safety record recognized by the CHP Star Award and customer safety awards, and the Petrotools platform that embeds Belshire into routine compliance workflows.
