History
In 1979, David Werklund and Gordon Vivian started Concord Well Servicing out of Valleyview, Alberta. With an investment from Werklund, CCS was formed in 1984, providing oil waste services. Hazco which provided water and environmental services was formed in 1989. Five years later CCS became a publicly traded company. Over the years Hazco and CCS acquire several energy and environmental waste-related companies. CCS would acquire Hazco in 2004. In 2007, CCS renames itself CCS Corporation and goes private. In 2012, the twelve similar companies combine under CCS Corporation and form Tervita.
In January 2015, the company won a Supreme Court of Canada decision, allowing it to develop a landfill in northeastern British Columbia through the CAD$6 million acquisition of Complete Environmental Inc.{{cite web|title=Tervita Responds to Recent Supreme Court of Canada Decision|url=https://finance.yahoo.com/news/tervita-responds-recent-supreme-court-214702250.html|publisher=Yahoo News|accessdate=9 February 2015|date=22 January 2015}} The plaintiff argued that Tervita would own all three landfills in northeast British Columbia and therefore it would eliminate competition. The decision was significant as the acquisition was small and it set the framework for future decisions based on market competition in Canada.{{cite web|author1=Mark Nicholson, Kelley McKinnon, Davit Akman & Zoë Paliare|title=Tiny merger will have major implications for merger review in Canada|url=http://www.gowlings.com/KnowledgeCentre/article.asp?pubID=3849|publisher=Gowlings|accessdate=10 February 2015|date=January 2015}}
