Industrial Solutions
A Conversation with Keegan Gardner
Q9. Anything you’re looking forward to in 2026?
From the trap, to the truck, to processing, and eventually into fuel, we’ll have more control end-to-end. It should make next year a good one for our crews, our partners, and the communities that are going to see more of what these guys can do. A lot more work to do, but it’s an exciting time for this industry.
Keegan: Definitely.
One thing I’m excited about is putting more structure around the disaster-relief work we’ve started. We’ve had a few emergency projects recently—one in Arkansas, one in Florida—where the team put in some long nights on big, messy jobs. We get the call, load up the RV, get to the site as quickly and safely as we can, and start figuring out how to clean things up so people can reopen. A big part of making that work has been the local subcontractors we partner with. In both states we found crews who fit right into how we operate -- show up, work hard, and think creatively. Overall, just good Southern relationships. When people like that help us get the job done, we remember those names for a long time. In 2026, we want to make this a more formal part of what we do. Sid Henggeler has really been driving that effort -- making sure our equipment, paperwork, and people are lined up at home so when the call comes in, we can roll without creating issues back here. On top of that, we’ve been quietly building a yellow grease processing facility in Arlington, near the Kennedale border, that we’re aiming to open in Q1. It’s a big step because it lets us handle even more of the process ourselves. We went out and recruited Diego Taverna to help lead that project, and he’s been a huge help this past year bringing more industry insight into the group.
