Meridian Waste relocates operating facility

Meridian Waste Acquisitions LLC, a Charlotte, North Carolina-based nonhazardous integrated solid waste services company, has completed the relocation of its Goldston, North Carolina, hauling, maintenance and administrative facility to Sanford, North Carolina, approximately 4.5 miles from its former location.

The new operations facility is located at 274-B Cumnock Road, Sanford, North Carolina, in Lee County. Due to Meridian Waste’s growth in the Piedmont Triad region, it says a larger, more modernized facility was necessary for the proper storage and maintenance of collection vehicles as well as to provide greater office space and ensure a safer traffic flow for collection and personal staff vehicles.

The company says growth is the result of sales, governmental contract wins and the acquisitions of Pinnacle Waste LLC and Triad Waste LLC in 2022 and Carolina Waste Services Inc. and Tin Cans LLC in 2024.

Meridian Waste made its first venture into the Triad region when it bought Triad Waste in March 2022 at its original location in Goldston, North Carolina. According to Meridian Waste, the existing transfer station, Triad Transfer Station, will soon undergo renovations and will remain at the Goldston location in Chatham County. 

“Meridian Waste is a key market player in the Triad region of North Carolina, having invested millions of dollars in people, facilities, equipment and acquisitions,” says Patrick Messinger, Meridian Waste area president. “The team of solid waste professionals we have retained and built here deserves a modern and clean facility in which to service our customers and to continue our growth trajectory.

“Like any new ‘home,’ we’re excited about the move and the greater flexibility it allows us to operate and expand our services both geographically and in regard to lines of business."
