CLH
Clean Harbors, Inc.
Is CLH Halal?
Environmental and hazardous-waste services are permissible, but the March 2026 asset-based debt screen is above 33% under the tracked methodologies.
What You Should Know
Clean Harbors, Inc. provides hazardous-waste treatment, environmental and industrial cleaning services, and used-oil re-refining through Safety-Kleen. The core activity is generally permissible and supports public health. Its March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q reports $7,552.566 million of assets, $2,774.017 million of interest-bearing debt, $547.994 million of cash, $121.040 million of short-term marketable securities and $1,113.163 million of accounts receivable. Debt/assets is 36.73%, above the examined 33.333% FTSE and 33% Malaysia limits (and above MSCI's 33.33% limit); liquidity/assets is 8.86% and receivables-plus-cash/assets is 22.00%. The filing reports $6.413 million of interest income, or 0.44% of quarterly revenue. Because the binding leverage screen fails, the current result is doubtful until a methodology-specific review supports a different denominator or the balance sheet changes.
⚠️ Concerns
- •Debt/assets is 36.73% ($2,774.017 million / $7,552.566 million), above the examined asset-based limits
- •Debt includes term loans and senior notes; operating leases are excluded from the tracked debt input
- •The filing does not provide a universal prohibited-activity revenue numerator for all waste streams and customers
- •Interest income/revenue is 0.44%; purification treatment remains scholar- and methodology-dependent
- •Re-screen after a newer filing, acquisition, refinancing or material debt change

Business-activity disclosure
Clean Harbors provides hazardous-waste treatment, environmental services, industrial cleaning and used-oil re-refining. These services are generally permissible and support public health, but the filing does not create a scholar-approved prohibited-activity revenue numerator.
Limitation: The filing reports segment revenue but does not quantify a universal prohibited-activity numerator for all customers, waste streams or downstream uses.
Purification
Clean Harbors discloses $6.413 million of interest income, or 0.44% of quarterly revenue, but no scholar-approved fixed purification percentage is inferred.
Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
- Amounts are USD millions from Clean Harbors' March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q.
- Debt combines $12.600 million of current debt and $2,761.417 million of long-term debt at carrying value; operating leases are excluded.
- Cash and cash equivalents are $547.994 million and short-term marketable securities are $121.040 million.
- Accounts receivable, net are $1,113.163 million; unbilled accounts receivable of $192.241 million is not added to the trade-receivable field.
- Quarterly revenue is $1,459.537 million and disclosed interest income is $6.413 million.
This is a reproducible financial screen, not a fatwa. A failed total-assets screen can coexist with a pass under a market-cap methodology. ZakatInvest keeps the qualitative assessment separate so numerical thresholds do not erase material context.
