Raleigh, NC – January 9, 2025:  Meridian Waste North Carolina, LLC (Meridian Waste), a non-hazardous, integrated solid waste services company, announces the asset acquisition of Foothills Waste Solutions, LLC (Foothills Waste) effective January 1, 2025.  The acquisition expands Meridian Waste’s operational footprint within the Research Triangle Region, adding commercial frontload, permanent and temporary roll off and residential hauling routes to the company’s North Carolina portfolio.  Additionally, Meridian Waste will assume Foothill Waste’s existing hauling facility located at 5307 NC Highway 704 East, Sandy Ridge, NC 27046, where the company will house the administrative and maintenance functions servicing these newly acquired customers and accounts.

The acquisition expands Meridian Waste collection footprint for all lines of business to include Forsyth, Guilford, Rockingham, Stokes, and Surry Counties.  Additionally, the Towns of King, Mayodan, Bethania, Danbury, Walnut Cove and the Village of Tobaccoville’s exclusive residential contracts are now being serviced by Meridian Waste.  Customers should experience no disruption in service and existing contact information remains valid with additional website communication options now available at www.MeridianWaste.com/SandyRidgeNC.

“We have found North Carolina to be an incredibly strong region for Meridian Waste,” stated Walter “Wally” Hall, CEO of the company.  “The opportunities our team has been able to uncover, purchase, site, improve upon and/or expand has created an advantageous competitive position for Meridian Waste which ultimately benefits our customers by ensuring a fully integrated solid waste management program where we can manage our customers’ environmental services from beginning to end focusing on safe, responsible and quality customer service operations.”

This will be Meridian Waste’s thirty-third acquisition since the company transitioned to private stock under the ownership of Warren Equity Partners (WEP) in April 2018.
