Waste Management Services in the US

Industry not going down the drain

Over the last century, the percentage of houses with septic tanks has declined from a large majority to less than a quarter of houses in the US, reducing the need for industry services dramatically. Despite this, the rural population continues to grow, creating a steady pace of growth for septic tank pumping. The use of portable toilets is expected to increase as activity grows in the construction sector and in the events sector.
