Meridian Waste Expands Northeast Missouri Operations with Acquistion of Sutton Disposal Service Assets
Bowling Green, MO — August 6, 2026 — Meridian Waste, an integrated, non-hazardous solid waste services company, announced today the asset acquisition of Sutton Disposal Service, LLC (Sutton Disposal), a Hannibal, Missouri-based provider of frontload, roll-off and residential collection services. The transaction closed effective August 1, 2026.
The tuck-in acquisition strengthens Meridian Waste's growing Missouri operations through the addition of residential collection vehicles, front-load and roll-off trucks, containers and customer service agreements. The acquisition expands Meridian Waste's service footprint farther into Marion and Ralls Counties, while creating additional operational efficiencies throughout the region.
As part of the transaction, former owner Greg Sutton and the Sutton Disposal team of experienced CDL drivers have joined Meridian Waste as full-time employees. Their continued service will help ensure a seamless transition while maintaining the dependable, high-quality waste collection services customers have come to expect.
"We are pleased to welcome Greg and the Sutton Disposal team to the Meridian Waste family," said Walter "Wally" Hall, Chief Executive Officer of Meridian Waste. "Greg has built a strong reputation for dependable service and customer relationships throughout northeast Missouri. By combining Sutton Disposal's talented team and assets with our existing operations, we can provide even greater operational efficiency, strengthen our local presence and continue delivering safe, reliable waste collection services to our customers."
All acquired rolling stock have been transferred to Meridian Waste's Bowling Green hauling operation located at 3100 Highway VV, Bowling Green, Missouri 63334, where the assets will be integrated into existing residential, commercial and industrial collection operations. The consolidation will improve route density, optimize fleet utilization and position the company for continued strategic growth throughout northeast Missouri.
"Our priority throughout every acquisition is taking care of customers and employees," said Hall. "Keeping Greg and his experienced drivers on board provides continuity for customers while allowing Meridian Waste to continue investing in the communities we proudly serve."
Customers of Sutton Disposal Service will experience no interruption in collection services. Existing service schedules and customer relationships will continue uninterrupted during the operational integration.
The acquisition represents another strategic investment in Meridian Waste's continued growth strategy of expanding market density through complementary acquisitions that enhance operational efficiencies while maintaining exceptional customer service.
