Turkey Tradition Loyalty Culture

“Even though we were always tight for cash, we gave out fresh turkeys for the holiday that first year. My father-in-law owned a supermarket called Rico’s Market, and we were able to get turkeys for cost, so the tradition of giving out turkeys was born. That tradition has lasted every year we have been in business. I smile to think our cost to buy turkeys in 2022 will be close to our total revenues in 1980!”

“This book is the story of an amazing company called Clean Harbors. I started this company more than 40 years ago along with three employees, $15,000 and a truck, nothing more, nothing less. At age 24, I would never have imagined in my wildest dreams that our company would have grown to the size it is today, and focused on the important mission of keeping the environment clean. I’m proud to say that over the past four decades, we may have done more to clean up the environment in America than any other company or organization. Also, in 2022, Clean Harbors generated $5 billion in revenue and employed more than 20,000 employees.”
