The safer, smarter, responsible alternative

At present, the use of reserve pits and landfarming are permissible in Texas, and the contents that get dumped into them are deemed by the Texas Railroad Commission to be non-hazardous. But that was a ruling from the 1980s. What we know for certain is that the hydrocarbons that end up in pits or get spread on the ground emit greenhouse gasses into the air and contaminants into the soil, and pose a significant threat to groundwater if the pit containment fails. Milestone gives you an environmentally responsible alternative, at about the same cost as dealing with waste the old risky ways.

Milestone's net negative carbon footprint

Milestone operates an unmatched network of facilities in Texas and New Mexico, with additional infrastructure in development across the southeastern United States. Milestone’s facilities utilize patented, advanced injection technology to permanently and securely isolate waste thousands of feet underground. This deep well injection is widely regarded as one of the safest and most environmentally responsible disposal methods. The process prevents hydrocarbons in the waste from becoming fugitive emissions and ensures long-term containment while minimizing risks to groundwater, surface water, and surrounding ecosystems. With Milestone’s solutions, the avoided emissions far outpace our operating emissions – a strong net-negative result.

Endless environmental upside

Milestone’s slurry injection method permanently locks hydrocarbons and other harmful contaminants deep underground while also preserving precious land resources. The elimination of unsightly reserve pits and landfarming, which place contaminated wastes above the water table, ensures that prime land stays unscarred, unpolluted, and unlimited in its potential for more productive uses. Milestone’s proprietary methods help ensure that the land we walk on, the water we drink, and the air we breathe are better protected. Our comprehensive waste management solutions shield your company from future environmental liability and help you achieve your sustainability goals.
