Meridian Waste celebrated its frontline workers during Waste & Recycling Workers Week, celebrated during National Safety Month in June. 

Meridian Waste has over 400 employees and operates in seven states with 23 facilities. Essential services provided by the Company range from residential waste and recycling hauling and operating transfer stations and landfills.

All employees who drive a vehicle for, or on behalf of, Meridian Waste are required to comply with federal and local laws and will utilize the seat belt assembly installed in their vehicle.
