The most recent updates to this tracker include:
- Environmental 360 Solutions acquired J.Y. Martel Transport, Choc Démolition and Pompage Expert, companies based in Shawinigan and Trois-Rivières, Quebec. Through the deal, Ontario-based E360S nets container and bulk transport, C&D waste and portable toilet services in Quebec’s Mauricie and Bécancour regions. In a statement, E360S CEO Donato Ardellini said the deal builds on his company’s services in the Mauricie region.
- New Jersey-based Interstate Waste Services acquired two New York haulers in August and September through its subsidiary, Action Carting. The first, family-owned Joro Carting, provided residential and commercial services in Brooklyn neighborhoods like Park Slope, Coney Island and Bensonhurst. The second, Viking Sanitation, also provided garbage and recycling collection services in Brooklyn for more than 15 years. The transactions come as haulers reshuffle routes in New York City’s nascent commercial waste zone system.
- Capital Waste Services acquired South Carolina-based Dumpster Depot, which offers residential, commercial and roll-off service in the western area of the state as well as the Augusta, Georgia, market.

The waste and recycling industry's M&A activity has neared historic levels in recent years.
Collective M&A spending by the U.S. solid waste industry's publicly traded companies approached an estimated $4.2 billion in 2023 and $6.3 billion in 2022.
