Meridian Waste Virginia, an integrated non-hazardous solid waste services provider, announced it has acquired Waste Knot, LLC, effective April 1, 2026. The transaction strengthens the company’s footprint in the greater Richmond, Virginia market and aligns with its ongoing acquisition-driven growth strategy.
The addition of Waste Knot expands Meridian Waste’s residential and commercial collection platform, increasing route density and driving incremental volume to its vertically integrated assets, including the Tri-City Materials Recovery Facility and the Lunenburg Municipal Solid Waste Landfill. The company expects the enhanced asset utilization to improve operating efficiencies, support margin expansion, and drive long-term cash flow growth.
Waste Knot’s operations will be integrated into Meridian Waste’s existing Petersburg hauling facility. Customers will continue to receive service under existing agreements while benefiting from expanded resources, safety standards, and service capabilities.
The transaction represents Meridian Waste’s 37th acquisition since partnering with Warren Equity Partners in April 2018, underscoring the company’s continued execution of its acquisition-led expansion strategy.
Meridian Waste provides residential, commercial, and industrial non-hazardous waste collection and disposal services across multiple markets in the United States, serving more than 582,800 customers. The company operates a network of hauling companies, transfer stations, materials recovery facilities, and landfills that collectively handle more than 1.7 million tons of waste annually.
KEY QUOTE:
“This acquisition reflects our continued focus on building density in existing markets while maximizing the value of our vertically integrated infrastructure. Waste Knot is a highly strategic fit that enhances our scale in the Richmond region, improves route efficiency, and increases internalization to our disposal and recycling assets. We remain actively engaged in identifying similar acquisition opportunities that align with our growth and value creation strategy.”
