American AllWaste acquires Walker Aero Enterprises and affiliated companies

American AllWaste LLC, Houston, announced Nov. 10 that it has acquired Austin, Texas-based Walker Aero Enterprises LLC and its affiliated companies, including JV Dirt & Loam, Daisy Works and Sheridan Environmental.

According to the company, the acquisition of Walker Aero will allow AllWaste to divert waste from landfills and instead recycle, reuse or resell materials as compost. This both reduces company costs and is a more sustainable approach, it says.

“Our goal at AllWaste is to build the premier nonhazardous liquid waste business in the southern United States,” Kevin Charlton, co-chairman of AllWaste’s holding company, NewHold Enterprises, says. “It has become clear that adding a market-leading composting capability is critical to our strategy. We’re very pleased to welcome Walker Aero to the AllWaste family.”

“This acquisition will not only strengthen our market position, but also our standing as good corporate citizens and stewards of the environment,” American AllWaste CEO Darrell Rogers says. “We recognize the reuse of waste material is a rising expectation of regulators, customers and the communities we serve, and this acquisition moves us solidly in an even more environmentally friendly direction.”

Walker Aero co-founder and President Phillip McCammon V will continue with AllWaste as general manager of JV Dirt & Loam.

“American AllWaste’s acquisition of the Walker Aero family of companies is an exciting step forward,” McCammon says. “The resources of both companies combined will create a powerful presence in the Texas municipal and liquid waste markets. I look forward to joining the AllWaste management team and helping to grow the company into the premier service provider in Texas.”
