Deep Green Waste & Recycling Inc. (DGWR), a Georgia-based waste, recycling and remediation services company, announced its subsidiary Lyell Environmental Services Inc. (LES) has completed a major asbestos abatement project at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville.
“Thanks to Lyell's expertise and hard work, we have completed a $2 million asbestos removal contract at Vanderbilt University Medical Center's (VUMC) downtown medical campus in Nashville,” DGWR President David Bradford says. “It was completed on schedule, under budget and as a result, should contribute significantly to our accelerated growth plan for DGWR. This accomplishment not only underscores our commitment to environmental stewardship but also positions our company for accelerated growth.”
LES executed the predemolition asbestos removal and disposal for the 11-story building at VUMC while adhering to strict safety protocols to protect hospital operations and personnel. The safe removal of asbestos in an active medical building requires extensive planning and meticulous execution using specialized equipment and techniques, DGWR says.

Strict controls and oversight are required throughout the process to protect workers, the public and the environment. Proper asbestos abatement is complex, requiring specialized workers and vetted contractors with extensive training and experience.
DGWR says it is dedicated to environmental safety, providing a wide array of professional environmental analysis, testing, remediation and abatement solutions for commercial, institutional and residential clients. The company will continue pursuing strategic opportunities to broaden its portfolio of environmental services and expand nationally.
“As a leading, vertically integrated waste management and remediation provider, Deep Green is well-positioned to capitalize on [the] booming demand for eco-friendly and compliant solutions to pressing environmental challenges faced by our customers,” DGWR Chairman Bill Edmonds says. “We look forward to creating additional value for shareholders as we fulfill our ambition to be the recognized national leader in this space.”
