Meridian Waste acquires Tate Services Inc.

Meridian Waste Alabama LLC, a business unit of North Carolina-based Meridian Waste, has announced the asset acquisition of Tate Services Inc., effective Sept. 1.

The acquisition expands Meridian Waste’s roll-off collection operations in the greater Huntsville, Alabama, market and adds two new service lines—portable toilets and temporary storage containers—to the company’s North Alabama portfolio. Meridian Waste will also assume Tate Services’ hauling facility in Huntsville where all 51 Tate Services employees will continue operating the company’s three lines of business.

“The addition of Tate Services to the Meridian Waste Alabama portfolio is a win across all fronts,” Meridian Waste CEO Walter Hall says. “It enhances our financial margins, expands our service offerings, deepens our pool of available talent—including Tate Services owner Zach Tate and his entire team—and strengthens our presence in the dynamic Huntsville market, which has been an exciting growth area for Meridian Waste since we entered the region just one year ago.”

According to Meridian Waste, this acquisition will increase route density and internalization into Meridian Waste’s Noble Hill Landfill in Etowah County, while also broadening service offerings. Tate Services customers will now have access to front-load services provided by Meridian Waste in the region.

Customers will experience no service disruptions, Meridian Waste says, and existing contact information remains valid.

This marks Meridian Waste’s 35th acquisition since the company transitioned to private ownership under Warren Equity Partners in April 2018.
