Assets, operations will tuck-in to existing service areas

Milwaukee, WI - Veolia ES Solid Waste, Inc. recently announced it has acquired the assets of three solid waste collection companies: JC Sanitation, LLC of McClellandtown, PA; Treesmith, Inc. of Tuscaloosa, Ala. and Suburban Disposal and Recycling, Inc. of Warrensburg, Ill. All of the acquisitions are tuck-ins and will be blended in with existing Veolia operations.

"These acquisitions align with our strategy of purchasing assets of smaller, independent waste companies in order to expand Veolia's existing operations within these integrated markets," said Jim Long, president and CEO of Veolia ES Solid Waste, Inc. "We are pleased to have all three of these businesses become a part of our company."

The acquisition of JC Sanitation, LLC includes four residential and commercial routes and one roll-off route, which will be tucked into existing operations at Veolia's McClellandtown facility. Volumes from these routes will be internalized at the Veolia ES Chestnut Valley Landfill in McClellandtown, PA. JC Sanitation owner Jim Collins will transition to Operations Manager and his drivers have been offered employment with Veolia ES Solid Waste of PA, Inc.

Assets from Treesmith, Inc. include two roll-off trucks and containers and will tuck-in to Veolia's Tuscaloosa, Ala. operation. Veolia will take over the company's existing customer routes and will internalize the collected construction and demolition waste at the Veolia ES Eagle Bluff Landfill in Tuscaloosa, Ala.

Suburban Disposal and Recycling, Inc., which includes residential and commercial customers across Decatur, Forsyth and Warrensburg, Ill., will be tucked into Veolia's Decatur operations. Assets acquired include customer lists and contracts, vehicles, containers and residential carts. Waste collected will continue to be taken to the Veolia ES Valley View Landfill in Decatur, Ill.
