Arcwood Environmental acquires MXI Environmental Services

Arcwood Environmental, an Indianapolis-based waste management and environmental services provider, has acquired MXI Environmental Services/Dynamic Recycling, a Virginia-based provider of hazardous and nonhazardous waste management, recycling and environmental cleanup solutions.

The acquisition adds to Arcwood’s waste transportation and management capabilities and expands its operational presence across the Eastern United States.  

“Our goal is to become the most trusted partner in the environmental services industry,” Arcwood CEO HP Nanda says. “Our acquisition of MXI—including the deep customer relationships, core capabilities and talented team that come with it—brings us another step closer to reaching that goal. We’ve known MXI for years, and we were attracted to their core capabilities in household hazardous waste and recycling services, as well as our shared values that prioritize responsiveness and customer service. We’re excited to welcome them to the Arcwood team.”

MXI partners with businesses and local governments to ensure safe, compliant and sustainable handling of regulated materials, Arcwood says.  

“Our vision has always been to build a truly national household hazardous waste and solvent-recycling program, and this transaction gives us the opportunities to see our vision fully realized,” MXI Environmental Services President Ronald Potter says. “After nearly 40 years of family ownership, we are excited to continue our mission within Arcwood. Arcwood’s industry-leading expertise and strong growth trajectory will create significant growth opportunities for our exceptional team.”

MXI manages both community collection events and permanent drop-off programs, supported by a trucking fleet and field team. MXI’s capabilities also include latex paint recycling, aerosol processing and chemical neutralization. Between its Langhorne, Pennsylvania, coordination hub and Abingdon, Virginia, materials recovery facility (MRF), MXI processes roughly 19 million pounds of household hazardous waste annually. 

This is the third acquisition announcement by Arcwood in the past six months. In October 2025 Arcwood announced its acquisition of ERG Environmental Group, and two months prior to that, it acquired Innovative Recycling Technologies.
