WATERBURY, Ct. — G&K Services Co. disputes the environmental claims made regarding its industrial laundry operations here but has agreed to pay $1.8 million to settle the matter dating back to spring 2008.
Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal sued G&K Services on behalf of the state’s Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and won an order blocking G&K from laundering soiled shop towels contaminated with various solvents, oils and greases that contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at its Waterbury facility.
