WCA Waste Completes Purchase of Emerald Waste Assets

WCA Waste has completed its purchase of one transfer station and three central Florida collection operations from Emerald Waste Services. The collection operations contain 220 employees and encompass nearly 120 residential, commercial and roll-off routes in the Gainesville, Orange City and Daytona Beach markets. The acquired assets generate a total of about $30 million in annual revenue, according to WCA Waste.

“We are excited about the acquisition and the opportunities for growth in these market areas,” said Tom J. Fatjo Jr., chairman and CEO of WCA Waste, in a press release. “We remain focused on growing WCA by acquiring tuck-in operations in our existing markets, and acquiring companies in new markets. We are actively pursuing other acquisition candidates and hope to announce additional transactions in the near future.”
