Waste Pro acquires customers, landfill from RES

Waste Pro, Longwood, Florida, announced March 4 that the company has acquired customers and a landfill from Ripley, Mississippi-based Resourceful Environmental Services Inc. (RES).

Waste Pro of Mississippi began servicing 700 customers previously serviced by RES effective March 1.

The arrangement includes the lease of RES’ 6,000-square-foot facility in Cleveland, Mississippi, which will become a satellite facility of Waste Pro’s Greenwood Division. The office will be home to 33 employees who are joining Waste Pro, in addition to rear-load, front-load, and roll-off garbage trucks that are part of the acquisition.

In addition to providing new service to residents of 13 municipalities in the Cleveland area, Waste Pro will assume operations of RES’ C&D and Class I waste landfill located in Ruleville, Mississippi.

“We’re excited to come together with a company that is aligned with our core values of caring for our environment and providing excellent service,” Roland Joyner, vice president of Waste Pro’s southern region, says. “RES has built a reputation for excellent service in the Mississippi Delta, and we look forward to continuing that.”
