Deep Green to acquire Junk King franchises

Deep Green Waste & Recycling Inc., a Hermitage, Tennessee-based waste, recycling and remediation services company for commercial and residential customers, has announced that it has agreed to purchase all the outstanding and issued stock of Franklin Tucker Corporation. Franklin Tucker owns and operates three large Junk King franchises covering all of central Tennessee.

“As our first acquisition of 2025, Franklin Tucker is the perfect kickoff addition for the year. The Junk King franchises owned by Franklin Tucker are a natural and highly compatible vertical integration for DGWR in our Lyell Environmental Services Inc. central Tennessee market with significant opportunities for additional territorial expansion,” says David Bradford, president of Deep Green. “This acquisition will provide an immediate doubling of revenue and operating cash flow for DGWR with opportunities to ramp up results by 45-50 percent and beyond over the near term. This is a great fit for us for concentration and enhancement of services over the 1.5 million homes and businesses in our midsouth footprint.”
