Throughout the years
Scottie Perdue grew up working for his father, Dale Perdue, at Perdue Excavating, acquiring irreplaceable knowledge of running heavy equipment and dump trucks. In high school, Scottie pulled his first underground storage tanks in 1988. Scottie bought his first GMC General Brigadier truck and Case backhoe in 1990. Scottie chose the color of his operation from his first Toyota truck he bought when he was 15. From keeping his Toyota clean and top-notch, Scottie has continued to further the same mindset throughout his entire operation, making Perdue Environmental Contracting Company, also known as PECCO, the business it is today. After starting the business in 1991, he located his first shop in the old county barn in Nicholasville, KY, as a small operation with one employee. 
As his career furthered, Scottie continued pursuing contracts and purchasing equipment to establish PECCO. In 1992 Scottie bought two dump trucks and designed an oil-water separator that further advanced Scottie’s capabilities in the waste industry. A year later, in 1993, Scottie Perdue moved locations to 240 Industry Parkway, Nicholasville, KY, due to business growth and the need for more space. In 1994 Scottie bought his first dominator vac truck custom-made by Keith Hubor, his first Mack tractor, his first dump trailer, his first lowboy 35 ton, and a new 580K backhoe. With the ability to increase his equipment, Scottie could increase his capabilities for business.
Scottie began utilizing the Keith Huber Dominator vac truck for hauling waste for solidification. As PECCO began to haul more waste, he bought a tanker trailer and his second Kenworth Tractor to further his business in waste hauling. In 1996, Scottie bought his second wet vac to further his fleet and eliminate his competition in the area. As he kept up with tank removals, he bought his first KOBELCO excavator and his second brand new 580L backhoe in 1997. 
With the idea of diversifying the company, Scottie built a mini frac tank and a vacuum truck to add to the waste portion of PECCO a year later, in 1998. A mini frac allowed PECCO to store waste and then later handle the waste at a further date. In 1998, he also started the use of his first roll-off truck furthering his transportation division. The roll-off truck served various purposes but allowed Scottie to haul off contaminated soil from tank removals for disposal. 1999 was a big year for PECCO as Scottie bought the current location of 250 Etter Drive. 
His current location has allowed him to grow and expand with parking for his equipment. Another piece of equipment he bought in 1999 would have been his first vacuum tanker. At this point, Scottie had established himself in the waste hauling industry, hauling hazardous and non-hazardous waste. Continuing in the transportation and waste industry, Scottie began to contract to haul the trash out of Stephens Transfer station in Louisville. At this point, PECCO was pulling and installing underground storage tanks, handling hazardous and non-hazardous waste, hauling for the trash transfer station, and much more.
