Safety-Kleen Opens Springdale Branch, Supporting NW Arkansas

Parts washer and containerized waste services focus of new branch

PLANO, Texas, May 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Safety-Kleen announced today the opening
of its Springdale, Ark., branch facility to support customers in the greater
Northwest Arkansas, Fort Smith and Southern Missouri area. The facility will
offer containerized waste services and a full-line of parts washer equipment
and related services.

"Safety-Kleen recognizes the need for environmental services to support
businesses in this growing area," said Mark Zimmerman, Safety-Kleen senior
vice president, central division. "Our goal is to help keep regional
businesses in regulatory compliance, and in balance with the environment, by
providing environmentally-responsible services designed to minimize waste
production and recycle materials whenever possible."

This new Safety-Kleen branch in Springdale has 4,000 square feet of office and
warehouse storage space. The facility will not process waste on-site; all
materials collected will be transferred to the company's recycling center in
Denton, Texas, for processing.

"Customers choose Safety-Kleen because of our commitment to service, our
extensive liability protection and our focus on sustainable solutions," said
Zimmerman. "We look forward to providing customers in Northwest Arkansas and

most environmentally responsible."
