Harper Environmental started in 1990. Under the leadership of Lawnie Mayhew, Harper began aggressively pursuing work in the environmental market. One of the most challenging environmental projects the company has completed was the Bingham Creek cleanup, which cleaned up the environment and thus provided a clean and natural surrounding for an increased parklike atmosphere.

Harper also negotiated an impressive five-year, multi-million dollar contract for Envirocare, which began in 2003. The work at Envirocare included the handling of thousands of tons of hazardous waste materials.

Keeping our environment safe and healthy is an important part of Harper Companies’ philosophy. This applies to both our daily work environment and also our world environment. To that end, we strictly comply with all environmental regulations and work hard to maintain our great reputation regarding the care of our employees and our environment.

Our Daily Work Environment Policy

Is kept at its best through the cooperation of everyone in maintaining a clean, well-organized and safe work environment and by following strict safety guidelines. The use of “Common Courtesy” and an attitude that focuses on solutions, not problems, goes a long way toward maintaining a supportive and safe work environment for our entire team.

Harper Companies’ Recycling and Reuse Policy:

Supports the recycling or reuse of as much of the concrete, asphalt, oils, metal, paper, cardboard, plastic, and glass products as possible. Any suggestions to further reduce the amount of waste we produce are encouraged on a company-wide basis. Our company policy also requires strict adherence to the “Best Management Practices” in the handling and storage of on-site Hazardous Materials to assure the cleanest and safest environment possible.

The World’s Environment

By paying attention to how we operate on a daily basis we contribute to a better world environment. Through the practices of spill prevention (using secondary containers), storm water pollution prevention plans on all projects, complying with air quality regulations, and the recycling and reusing of materials, we reduce the amount of waste we generate. Through the use of proper servicing methods on our fleet vehicles, we contribute to cleaner air and water and we eliminate the chance of ground and water contamination. Taking care of our environment for all of us now and for the future of those we love will always be the way we work.
