Clean Harbors forecasts revenue uptick

Clean Harbors estimates first-quarter revenue between $225 million and $230 million

Clean Harbors Inc., a provider of environmental and hazardous waste management services, said today it expects first-quarter revenue of $225 and $230 million.

Favorable industry trends and the company's established position in the market are expected to help its revenue throughout the year, Alan McKim, Clean Harbors' chairman and chief executive, said in a statement. The first quarter is typically the slowest for Clean Harbors because of weather, the company said.

For the full year, Clean Harbors expects revenue to increase between 6 percent and 8 percent. In 2007, the company made $946.9 million in revenue. (AP)
