    Comments Off on Hull’s Environmental Services Expands to Larger Facility for Its Atlanta, Georgia Location.

    Hull’s Environmental Services, Inc., has relocated its Hiram, GA facility to a new, larger building and lot to accommodate recent growth. Located at 145 Hiram Industrial Dr in Hiram, GA, the new location sits just over 20 miles outside the perimeter (OTP) of Interstate 285. It is ideally situated to service northwest, west and southwest Atlanta.

    This facility provides environmental services to both private industry and government agencies. They include emergency spill response for oil, fuel and hazardous materials, hazardous and non-hazardous waste transportation and disposal, industrial tank and vessel cleaning, vacuum truck and tanker services and contaminated site remediation.

    With a commercial fleet of vacuum trucks, tractor trailers, tankers, roll-off trucks, heavy equipment, emergency response trailers and associated equipment, a large, maneuverable parking area is needed to support the ingress, egress and storage of these resources.

    Alex Potteiger, Area Operations Manager and an Atlanta native said, “This area is so diverse in terms of industry – warehousing, transportation, utilities, supply chain, manufacturing and so many more. Because Hull’s offers so many different types of environmental services, that broad appeal has boosted our day-to-day work tremendously. We simply ran out of office space, warehouse space and parking. This new location fits our growth plans perfectly.”

    Data and statistics provided by the Atlanta and Georgia Chambers of Commerce illustrate what’s been transpiring in both metropolitan Atlanta and throughout the State of Georgia.

    VP of Business Development, Jamie Michael, commented, “Atlanta is a city of over six million people, is number four in population growth for metropolitan areas, has the world’s busiest airport and is geographically situated with a real logistical advantage. It’s no surprise that we continue to grow our business in this region.”
