Meridian Waste acquires NC Dumpster

Meridian Waste, a Charlotte, North Carolina-based solid waste services company, has closed on the purchase of NC Dumpster LLC, located in Angier, North Carolina. The acquisition is effective Sept. 1, 2022.  

The acquired assets from NC Dumpster include seven roll-off trucks, more than 400 roll-off containers, two portable restroom trucks and more than 200 portable restrooms. Meridian Waste says it will transfer the assets and operate from its new hauling location at 110 Rupert Road in Raleigh, North Carolina. The facility is located across the street from Meridian’s former hauling location, which now serves as a container maintenance facility and the portable restroom and auxiliary services operations hub.   

As the eighth asset for Meridian Waste in North Carolina, the acquisition densifies collection operations, and builds volume for its Shotwell Construction and Demolition Landfill in Wendell, North Carolina, and at the Lunenburg Municipal Solid Waste Landfill in Lunenburg, Virginia, via the Morrisville Transfer Station in Morrisville, North Carolina.  

“Adding NC Dumpster’s team members, rolling stock, container and portable restroom assets to Meridian Waste’s North Carolina business is a benefit on many levels,” says Walter Hall, Meridian Waste’s CEO. “The two owners, Chris Bonfiglio and John Harte built the business from the ground up with two trucks, ownership interest and hard work. Now, 16 years later, they sold us a quality company with a dedicated team of employees who will continue to carry out a firm commitment to clean communities.”       

The terms of the asset purchase agreements were not disclosed. This is Meridian Waste’s 24th acquisition since the company transitioned to private stock under the ownership of Warren Equity Partners in April 2018.
