"Change was a perfect partner to expand our services across two critical Cards lines of business, residential collection and recycling operations,” Cards President and CEO Dan Christensen says. “With our state-of-the-art material recovery facility on the horizon, we are investing in companies that believe in sustainability. I look forward to seeing these important tuck-in acquisitions solidify our presence in Texas."
