In Q1 2009, Strong Environmental Inc., joined the Stericycle family of companies. In Strong, Stericycle saw a company whose focus on the environment, compliance and risk reduction–along with superior customer service–closely matched their own.

About the New Strong
The acquisition of Strong by Stericycle improves and enhances the spectrum and depth of services available to Strong’s clients. Strong will continue to offer the same superior level of customer service, operating with the same on-site management team of outstanding personnel our clients have been familiar with for over sixteen years. 

Stericycle brings Strong the nationwide support network and infrastructure needed to drive an even greater ability to service large industrial, pharmaceutical and retail organizations. Access to these resources will result in continuous improvement in waste disposition options, process efficiencies, record keeping and data retrievability, as well as customer service.

The Strong/Stericycle team is confident we have an unmatched ability to provide the industry-leading service, support and data resources our existing and future clients need to enable the most compliant, environmentally responsible waste management programs possible. Strong/Stericycle looks forward to the opportunity to serve you.

About Stericycle
Founded in 1989, Stericycle has become the leading provider of regulated medical waste management services in North America.

They have over 6,000 employees and serve over 400,000 customers with powerful logistics, routing and human resource capabilities.


Founded over a decade ago, Strong Environmental, Inc., a Stericycle company, is the recognized industry leader in providing treatment, recycling and disposal services for a broad spectrum of industrial, non-hazardous, EPA hazardous, DEA controlled substances and special waste materials.
