Community Happenings

We were happy to assist the Clara White Mission help fulfill their goal of providing “food for today… skills for life” to those in need. Meridian Waste always aims to help the communities in which we operate in whatever way we can.

On Friday, May 31st, Meridian Waste Virginia (Petersburg Hauling) was honored to receive FOLAR’s Business and Industry Award for the Company’s support of the organization over the last 24 years!  

Springfest’s purpose is to provide a family-friendly environment to allow neighbors and community members to visit the disposal facility, learn how waste is properly managed to protect the natural environment, and have fun.

The foursome headed by Area President Dave Shepler didn’t bring home the winning trophy but a great time was had by all while raising funds for the Boys & Girls Club’s.
