The first month of 2022 is already on the books, with consolidations rolling along a route that will further shape the waste and recycling landscape.
Following the January acquisition of La Salle, Ill.-based River Waste City Services, Republic Services has reached an agreement to purchase Ecology in a $2.2 billion cash transaction, or $48 per share including net debt of approximately $0.7 billion. The company plans to finance the deal with existing and new sources of debt.
