Winston Score History

The full picture

Secure Waste Infrastructure Corp. is a Canadian company that collects, treats, and disposes of industrial and oilfield waste. Its main customers are oil and gas producers, primarily in Western Canada, who need a safe and legal way to get rid of hazardous fluids, drill cuttings, and contaminated soil. The company operates landfills, treatment facilities, and disposal wells across the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin.

Secure makes money by charging customers fees each time waste is dropped off or processed at one of its facilities. It operates almost entirely in Canada, with a strong presence in Alberta and British Columbia, and its network of permitted disposal sites is difficult and expensive for competitors to replicate. However, the negative gross and operating margins shown in recent figures suggest cost pressures, and the business is closely tied to activity levels in the oil and gas sector, meaning a slowdown in energy production could directly reduce demand for its services.
