Expands Roll Off Collection Footprint; Adds New Hauling Facility in Woodlawn, VA
Meridian Waste Virginia, LLC (Meridian Waste) today announced the asset acquisition of Richardson Waste Management, LLC (Richardson Waste), effective Feb. 1, 2026.
The acquisition expands Meridian Waste’s roll-off collection operations bridging current operations between Christiansburg, VA and Sandy Ridge, NC. Meridian Waste will also assume Richardson Waste’s hauling facility at 5567 Elk Horn Road in Woodlawn, VA, where the existing Richardson Waste employees will continue servicing the company’s roll off customers while expanding into Meridian Waste’s additional lines of business including frontload and residential collections.
The acquisition allows for greater internalization of waste at the company’s new Gate City Transfer Station located in Greensboro, NC which is slated to open in Q1 2026 while densifying roll off collection routes in southwest Virginia into northcentral North Carolina.
Customers will experience no service disruptions and existing contact information remains valid. Additional communication options are available at www.MeridianWaste.com/TwinCountiesVA.
“This tuck-in acquisition strategically connects two strong operating footprints and accelerates Meridian Waste’s ability to deliver expanded services across a growing region,” said Walter “Wally” Hall, Chief Executive Officer of Meridian Waste. “By partnering with Dustin Richardson and the Richardson Waste team, we’re building on a proven local operation while unlocking scale, efficiency, and a broader service platform that benefits customers across both states.”
This marks Meridian Waste’s 36th acquisition since the company transitioned to private ownership under Warren Equity Partners in April 2018.
