Meridian Waste Purchases Roll Off Assets from Rapid Response Inc.

St.Louis, Mo., Sept. 1, 2020 – Meridian Waste Missouri, LLC, a subsidiary of Meridian Waste, an integrated, non-hazardous solid waste services company, is announcing the asset acquisition of all roll off trucks, containers, and contracts from Rapid Response, Inc. located in Wentzville, Mo. effective September 1^st.  The roll off assets and associated CDL drivers will be relocated to Meridian Waste’s existing hauling and transfer station operations located at 17900 Veteran’s Memorial Parkway in Foristell, Mo

“Tuck in acquisitions, such as this asset purchase from Rapid Response, is ideal for our St. Louis marketplace operations,” stated Bob Mathis, Area President – Missouri.  “The team of professional CDL drivers is a welcome addition to our Meridian waste team and the additional customer base will not only grow our overall operations and revenue line, but it will also help densify our routing and increase profitability resulting in improved margin enhancement.  It’s a strategic win for Meridian Waste, the customers and Rapid response as that company will continue to focus on its continuing business of tractor trailer transportation and other delivery services.

This asset purchase marks the 12^th acquisition since the Company transitioned to private stock under the ownership of Warren Equity Partners (WEP) in April 2018.
