Company Description
DEEP GREEN Waste & Recycling, Inc. (DGWR) is an environmental services company that focuses on waste, recycling, environmental testing, and remediation. According to multiple company disclosures, DEEP GREEN positions itself as an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state compliant provider that helps commercial, institutional, and residential customers manage, reduce, and recycle waste streams while addressing hazardous materials such as mold, lead, radon, and asbestos.
The company’s common stock trades on the OTCQB Venture Market under the symbol DGWR. DEEP GREEN describes its business as a waste, recycling and remediation services company that provides sustainable waste, recycling, and remediation services and seeks to help customers realize cost savings through streamlined processes for handling waste and environmental risks.
Core business and services
Across its public communications, DEEP GREEN consistently highlights two closely related areas of activity:
- Waste and recycling services for commercial customers, with an emphasis on sustainable waste handling and cost-efficient management of waste streams.
- Environmental safety, testing, remediation, and abatement, with a focus on the removal of toxic materials, including mold, lead, radon, and asbestos, for commercial, institutional, and residential properties.
The company states that it uses streamlined processes to help customers manage and reduce waste while complying with environmental regulations. In its shareholder communications, DEEP GREEN also emphasizes environmental stewardship and the importance of safe handling and removal of hazardous substances.
Lyell Environmental Services and remediation focus
A key part of DEEP GREEN’s operations is its wholly owned subsidiary Lyell Environmental Services, Inc. (LES), described as an established commercial environmental and ecological testing services company based in Nashville, Tennessee. LES provides environmental studies, hazardous substance testing, remediation, abatement, and removal for commercial, institutional, and residential clients.
Company news reports show that LES has executed large and complex asbestos abatement projects, including a multi‑month asbestos removal contract at Vanderbilt University Medical Center’s downtown medical campus in Nashville. These projects involved pre‑demolition asbestos removal and disposal in an active medical facility, with strict safety protocols and specialized equipment and techniques. DEEP GREEN points to LES’s long track record and experience in hazardous waste handling as reasons it is selected for such projects.
DEEP GREEN’s communications repeatedly reference a focus on asbestos and radon remediation work, particularly in its Nashville operations, and describe the company’s intent to add complementary remediation services within the environmental services markets. The company also notes that it targets removal of toxic materials such as mold, lead, radon, and asbestos across both commercial and residential markets.
Geographic footprint and expansion strategy
DEEP GREEN’s public updates indicate a geographic focus on the southeastern United States. The company has highlighted operations and expansion plans in Tennessee, Alabama, Kentucky, and Georgia. Nashville and the broader Middle Tennessee region are repeatedly mentioned as important markets, with the Vanderbilt University Medical Center project serving as a significant reference point for its capabilities.
Management has discussed accelerating Lyell Environmental Services’ geographic expansion into metro markets across Tennessee, Alabama, and Kentucky, and has also referenced opportunities in other southeastern metro regions. In early 2025, DEEP GREEN announced plans to expand LES through satellite operations centers in Memphis, Tennessee; Louisville, Kentucky; and Huntsville, Alabama. The company states that this expansion will open service access to a large base of homes and businesses for environmental testing and remediation services related to asbestos, lead, mold, water damage, and disaster recovery.
Acquisitions, divestitures, and business focus
DEEP GREEN has described a hybrid growth strategy that combines organic growth with acquisitions. In its shareholder communications and news releases, the company notes that it evaluates strategic acquisition opportunities to broaden its portfolio of environmental services and to accelerate revenue and profit growth.
On the acquisition side, DEEP GREEN announced an agreement to purchase all outstanding and issued stock of Franklin Tucker Corporation, which owns and operates three Junk King franchises covering central Tennessee. The company characterizes these franchises as a compatible vertical integration for its Lyell Environmental Services central Tennessee market and notes that this acquisition is expected to expand its depth of market and enhance services across a substantial regional footprint.
On the divestiture side, DEEP GREEN completed the sale of its wholly owned subsidiary DG Research Inc., doing business as AMWASTE, to Amwaste of Georgia, LLC. The company states that this sale is part of its efforts to optimize operations and concentrate on core competencies in environmental safety, analysis, testing, remediation, and abatement services. The divested assets included equipment, customer contracts, intellectual property, and leases associated with a waste hauling business in Georgia.
Across several communications, DEEP GREEN links these portfolio changes to a strategy of focusing on higher growth environmental remediation and testing services, while still maintaining its identity as a waste, recycling and remediation services company.
Regulatory positioning and compliance
DEEP GREEN describes itself as an EPA compliant and state compliant environmental services company. It emphasizes adherence to EPA and state regulations and certifications in the removal of toxic materials such as mold, lead, radon, and asbestos. In describing the Vanderbilt University Medical Center project, the company notes that proper asbestos abatement is complex and requires specialized workers, vetted contractors, extensive training, and strict controls and oversight to protect workers, the public, and the environment.
These disclosures indicate that regulatory compliance and safety protocols are central to DEEP GREEN’s operating model, particularly in its environmental testing and remediation activities.
Capital markets and listing status
DEEP GREEN Waste & Recycling, Inc. trades under the ticker DGWR on the OTCQB Venture Market. The company announced an up‑listing from the OTC Pink Sheets to the OTCQB Venture Market, noting that OTCQB companies must meet certain reporting standards, pass a bid test, and undergo annual verification and management certification. DEEP GREEN has indicated that this up‑listing is intended to provide broader exposure to investors and facilitate access to capital for acquisitions and expansion of remediation services.
In its communications, DEEP GREEN highlights that the OTCQB is recognized by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as an established public market providing public information for analysis and valuation of securities.
Positioning within environmental services
Across its shareholder letters and news releases, DEEP GREEN presents itself as a vertically integrated waste management and remediation provider operating within the environmental services and environmental remediation markets. The company describes its operations as a foundation for growth in a large and fragmented environmental services market and references opportunities to expand service verticals, such as lead remediation, and to broaden its portfolio of environmental services.
DEEP GREEN’s stated ambition is to broaden its environmental service offerings, expand geographically, and pursue both organic growth and acquisitions. Its focus on hazardous material removal, environmental testing, and remediation, combined with waste and recycling services, defines its role within the environmental services sector.
Customer base and project types
DEEP GREEN’s disclosures identify commercial, institutional, and residential customers as key segments. The company’s work with Vanderbilt University Medical Center illustrates its ability to undertake large‑scale projects for institutional clients, while its descriptions of services for homes and businesses indicate a broader reach across property types.
Representative project types mentioned in company communications include:
- Pre‑demolition asbestos removal and disposal in multi‑story buildings.
- Environmental analysis and testing for hazardous substances.
- Remediation and abatement of mold, lead, radon, and asbestos in commercial and residential properties.
- Waste and recycling services aimed at managing and reducing waste streams for commercial customers.
Through these activities, DEEP GREEN presents itself as addressing environmental safety, regulatory compliance, and waste management needs for a range of property owners and operators.
Business model characteristics
While DEEP GREEN does not provide a detailed breakdown of revenue sources in the supplied text, its public statements describe a business model built around:
- Providing environmental testing, remediation, and abatement services through Lyell Environmental Services and related operations.
- Offering sustainable waste and recycling services with a focus on cost‑saving, streamlined processes for commercial customers.
- Pursuing organic growth in existing markets, particularly in environmental remediation channels such as asbestos and radon.
