Community Happenings

Meridian Waste North Carolina hosted its first of five (5) Saturdays in a row introducing its one-of-a-kind charity pumpkin patch at its Shotwell Landfill facility in Wendell, NC. Besides raising monies and doing good for local charities, the event showcases that even the unexpected can be fun, educational, and very “cool” for kids of all ages including those simply young at heart.

Meridian Waste, and related companies, is the new Owner/Operator of the Shotwell C&D Landfill located in Wendell, N.C. Meridian Waste is dedicated to supporting and giving back to the local communities and has created the pumpkin patch as the company’s introduction into the greater Raleigh-Durham area.

40 Yards to Feed the Community is a new project running from September 15 through November 30 to help fortify the reserves of the local food pantry and feed individuals and families. The measurement of a 40-yard roll off container from Meridian Waste can collect approximately 23,000-pounds of food or 19,000 meals. Through the recent and on-going consolidation of the area’s food pantries, the Agape Center of the NRV needs assistance with donations of non-perishable foods.

Meridian Waste Missouri announced the asset acquisition of all roll off trucks, containers, and contracts from Rapid Response, Inc. located in Wentzville, Mo. effective September 1st. 

The roll off assets and associated CDL drivers will be relocated to Meridian Waste’s existing hauling and transfer station operations located in Foristell, Mo.
