Republic Services acquires Bend Garbage Co.

Bend Garbage Co. of Bend, Oregon, announced it has entered into an agreement to sell its companies, High Country Disposal of Redmond, Oregon, Bend Garbage & Recycling and Deschutes Recycling, both of Bend, to Republic Services Inc. of Phoenix.

Bend Garbage & Recycling and High Country Disposal provide waste management, recycling, and hauling services in the cities Bend, Redmond and Sisters. Deschutes Recycling is a recycling depot and compost facility located at Knott Landfill.

“We have been honored to work with our cities, counties, and such a great community over the years, but we feel now is the time for our family to retire and transition the company to new ownership,” said Brad Bailey, the president of Bend Garbage Company, in a news release.

Republic Services currently serves several communities across Oregon.

The details of the transaction were not disclosed.

“Republic Services brings a high level of experience in solid waste management and disposal, recycling, and sustainability initiatives, and I am confident their team will provide the excellent level of service our customers have come to expect,” Bailey said. “I have confidence in their ability to successfully lead the Company and our employees into the future.”

Bend Garbage says customers will not experience any interruption in their services throughout the transition and it is the same team providing the service.
