DTG Recycle acquires Kleensweep's collection and recycling division

DTG Recycle announced March 26 that the company has acquired Kleensweep Construction Services' collection and recycling business division. The deal is effective immediately.

DTG is a Mill Creek, Washington-based solid waste hauling and recycling company specializing in construction, demolition, industrial and manufacturing waste. The company, whose operations are concentrated in the greater Seattle/Tacoma region, has more than 300 employees, nearly 2,000 roll-off and recycling containers, and nine material recovery facilities.

Kleensweep, Milton, Washington, has been providing collection and recycling services to the southeast Seattle metropolitan region for more than 24 years. According to a release, the company decided to sell its collection and recycling businesses to DTG to focus on its earthwork business.

DTG says that this acquisition will help the company establish itself in one of Seattle’s growth corridors where the company currently has a limited presence.

"I am honored and excited for this acquisition, and am looking forward to adding Kleensweep's staff and providing them additional opportunities for professional advancement," DTG Recycle CEO Tom Vaughn says.

"I cannot think of a better company to acquire our collection and recycling division to ensure the legacy of my father and I is carried out in the manner that we want,” Kleensweep CEO Jeremy Stafford says.
