Green for Life Environmental Corp., (GFL) headquartered in Pickering, Ontario, has purchased Turtle Island Recycling Corp. (TIR), a recycling firm based in Toronto. According to GFL, the combination of the two companies creates the largest waste management and recycling company in southern Ontario.
 

Combined, the newly merged company will operate 10 transfer and recycling stations, a soil remediation facility and three liquid waste storage and treatment facilities in southern Ontario.  GFL says it can process more than 2 million metric tons of soil, solid waste and recyclables each year. 
 

“This deal doesn't just mean we're now southern Ontario's largest waste management company - it also means we can offer our customers more services in more locations than ever before. We're quite pleased to be welcoming TIR's seasoned professionals into the GFL group of companies” Patrick Dovigi, GFL president, founder and CEO, says. 
 

“Joining the GFL team means we can now offer even more convenience, more savings and more service solutions than any other company in the waste management industry,” says Louis Anagnostakos, TIR CEO and co-founder.

 

GFL operates from 25 locations and serves customers in Ontario, Manitoba, Alberta and British Columbia. TIR operates three transfer stations in Ontario.
