What Secure Stream does

Secure Stream LLC is a family-owned, Kentucky-registered waste management company headquartered in London, KY, providing three core compliance-driven services: medical waste disposal (biohazard and sharps handling using state-approved autoclave and incineration treatment), non-RCRA pharmaceutical waste disposal (including regulatory paperwork and transport to EPA-approved facilities), and document destruction (scheduled or one-time shredding via mobile onsite units, offsite pickup, and drop-off, with Certificates of Destruction). The company owns and operates its own truck fleet on regular routes covering the majority of Kentucky and Eastern Tennessee, supplying free lockable collection containers and liners, and bundling full insurance coverage (workmen's compensation, general, property, truck, and pollution liability) with each customer relationship.

The customer base is fragmented across healthcare-adjacent verticals — hospitals, medical offices, veterinary clinics, nursing homes, laboratories, dialysis centers, home health agencies, funeral homes, tattoo parlors, and any other biohazard-waste-generating business — with no named anchor accounts disclosed. Revenue is generated on a recurring per-container basis with no hidden fees, supplemented by emergency or off-route pickups billed at contract price plus a transportation surcharge. The go-to-market is sales-led: direct phone-based outbound (606-729-0072), inbound website quote requests including a structured 'Are You Currently Under Contract?' switcher funnel, and customer reference referrals, supported by online bill pay and auto-pay via a third-party portal.

Positioning is built around being a Kentucky-owned local operator rather than an out-of-state waste broker, with claimed 25–50% savings versus national haulers, transparent all-inclusive pricing, and flexible pickup schedules. There is no disclosed funding, M&A activity, parent company, or management team beyond the founding family; the website, third-party billing portal, and physical fleet are the principal operating assets.
