 PROFILE
The cows -- and the chickens -- have come home for Shanks Group (formerly Shanks & McEwan Group), one of the largest landfill and waste disposal companies in the UK and in Belgium and the Netherlands. Shanks has a multiyear government contract to dispose of cattle carcasses culled as a result of the bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE, or "mad cow disease") epidemic in the UK. It has also disposed of Belgian chickens contaminated with carcinogenic dioxins. Other operations include waste collection, transfer, and treatment; incineration; landfill disposal; remediation services; hazardous chemical disposal; and recycling. The firm also generates electricity from several waste-to-energy plants at its landfills.
