Mergers and acquisitions are the bedrock of the modern solid waste industry.
Huge, national and regional solid waste conglomerates that define the industry all began as small, local companies. The history represents a remarkable, free enterprise success story — one still being written, as the thirst for mergers and acquisitions is as intense now as it was 40 years ago.
Literally thousands of profitable, small- and medium-sized collection companies are thriving in today's marketplace, and more enter the market each day. They compete successfully against the majors in some areas. Where big companies do not have a presence, the locals provide communities and outlying regions with the full range of hometown solid waste services. Still other independents have carved out rewarding niches in markets throughout the country.
Meanwhile, national and regional industry giants still search earnestly for new, quality revenue streams and markets while long-standing local independent operators — and more recently — entrepreneurs, seek a fair reward for their labors and their vision. We know the business characteristics they look for; and we know how to position your company for acquisition and how to maximize your return on investment.
Mergers and Acquisitions are only one of the many solid waste industry services provided by Environmental Business Services.
