USA Waste of California, a division of Waste Management Inc., Houston, has acquired two Harvest Power California facilities in California. According to an article by The Sentinel, Hanford, California, the facilities, in Lathrop and Tulare, are each permitted to take in up to 156,000 tons of organic waste per year.
“As a leader in sustainability, Waste Management is working in the best interest of our customers and the environment,” Larry Metter, area vice president for Waste Management of Southern California, says in the article. “This acquisition will allow us to expand our organics processing capabilities for our customers and enhance support for state and local diversion goals.”
“We are excited to add the Lathrop facility to our existing composting operations in the Bay Area,” Barry Skolnick, area vice president for Waste Management of Northern California, tells the paper. “It will enable us to serve additional municipalities and help them to comply with state organic mandates as we all work towards diverting organics from the waste stream for beneficial reuse.”
The transaction closed Aug. 1.
