Veolia ES Technical Solutions has opened a recycling and hazardous waste management services facility in Charlestown, Mass.

The Chicago-based Veolia said in a news release that the new 15,000 sq.-ft. facility will provide field, on-site services, technical and sales support. Its proximity to Boston brings Veolia physically closer to its customer base and enables faster response time. The operation will have a staff of about 30 environmental compliance specialists.

The facility also complements Veolia’s operation in Marlborough, Mass.

The company provides recycling, reclamation, transportation and disposal of hazardous materials, emergency response and on-site service support to the metro Boston area.
