Clean Harbors Inc. has promoted Jerry Correll to president of Safety-Kleen Environmental Services.

The Norwell, Mass.-based Clean Harbors said in a news release that Correll, executive vice president of environmental sales, replaces Robert Craycraft, who has resigned to pursue other opportunities.

“Jerry’s background and industry experience make him ideally suited to lead our Safety-Kleen business,” said Alan S. McKim, Clean Harbors chairman and CEO. “Over the past 11 years he has taken on progressively larger roles at Clean Harbors, demonstrating strong leadership at every level.”

Correll joined Clean Harbors in 2002 when the company purchased Safety-Kleen’s Chemical Services Division.

Clean Harbors completed its purchase of all of the used oil recycling firm Safety-Kleen in January.

 “I would like to commend Bob Craycraft for his contributions to Safety-Kleen and its success,” McKim said.
