Ecowaste Solutions, a regional waste management company operating across nine states, announced the strategic carve-out acquisition of select solid waste collection and disposal operations from MDI Enterprises, LLC. The transaction tucks into Ecowasteâs East Region operations across Alabama, Mississippi and Florida, and marks a pivotal step in the companyâs growth trajectory across the Southeast.
The carve-out acquisition adds 65 employees including 51 drivers, 7 mechanics and 7 back-office team members and extends Ecowasteâs footprint into four new Gulf Coast markets, including Dothan and Brundidge, Ala.; Fort Walton Beach, Fla.; and Gulfport, Miss. The transaction also includes the Rosehill Transfer Station and C&D Landfill in Midland City, Ala. MDI Enterprises, founded in 1980 by Mark Dunning, has served the Wiregrass region for more than 40 years through its commercial, residential, roll-off and disposal operations.
MDI Enterprises will continue operating its government contracting and military base services business across multiple states. The acquired commercial, residential and industrial waste operations will transition to the Ecowaste brand immediately, with local teams remaining in place to continue serving the communities they know.
âThis acquisition is a pivotal step in our growth trajectory,â said Dustin Reynolds, Chief Executive Officer of Ecowaste Solutions. âIt establishes our East Region, extends our Gulf Coast footprint into a contiguous corridor from Mississippi to Florida, and brings vertically integrated disposal assets with long-dated airspace into the Ecowaste platform. More importantly, it adds a talented team of 65 operators who know these markets and customers better than anyone.â
âThe Pensacola operation will integrate directly into our existing yard, delivering immediate route density, and Dothan gives us a scaled beachhead from which to grow organically and through bolt-on acquisitions across the Gulf Coast,â Reynolds said. âThis is the kind of platform-defining transaction that accelerates our strategy of building the Southâs fastest growing waste company.â
