Waste Connections Inc., Toronto, has announced that it has acquired American Disposal Services Inc. and certain affiliates. American, based in Manassas, Virginia, is one of the largest privately owned solid waste collection and recycling businesses in the Mid-Atlantic. American has total annualized revenues of approximately $175 million and serves approximately 400,000 customers in Virginia, Maryland, Georgia and Colorado.

In addition to providing new market platforms for future growth opportunities in both Virginia and Georgia, this acquisition also enhances our market positioning in Denver, where American's collection services will be tucked into our vertically integrated operations," Ronald Mittelstaedt, CEO and chairman of Waste Connections, says.
