OUR HISTORY
In 1946, Robert W. Collins founded the R.W. Collins Company amid the growing need for underground tank installation in Chicago’s rapidly expanding neighborhoods and suburbs. Throughout the past 70 years, we’ve expanded our expertise to a much wider array of services.
The entrepreneurial spirit and deep care exhibited by our founder are the foundation of the RW Collins culture. Today, we are the Midwest’s leading environmental contractor for a wide range of remediation and excavation services, with one of the most versatile equipment fleets in the environmental remediation and excavation industries.
We help commercial and residential property owners in Chicago, the Midwest, and Great Lakes regions with excavation, environmental, soil-remediation and UST removal services.
We are a third-generation, family-owned, and Illinois-based environmental contractor, and we are certified as a Women-Owned Business by the City of Chicago and the State of Illinois.
