Waste Eliminator, a metro Atlanta waste and recycling services provider backed by private equity firm Allied Industrial Partners, has acquired Happy Haulers, a frontload and roll-off operator serving the core Atlanta market.
The transaction expands Waste Eliminator’s footprint in downtown Atlanta and is expected to increase route density while strengthening the company’s frontload and municipal solid waste collection capabilities. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Waste Eliminator said the deal fits its broader growth strategy of building scale across Georgia and the Southeast through acquisitions and operational improvements. The company has completed nine acquisitions since partnering with Allied Industrial Partners in 2021.
Waste Eliminator provides waste collection, hauling, recycling and landfill services to industrial and large commercial customers as well as government entities across metro Atlanta. The company also highlighted its recycling capabilities, fleet, and technology investments as part of its push to position itself as a larger regional platform in environmental services.
Allied Industrial Partners, founded in 2019, is a lower-middle market private equity firm with more than $1 billion in assets under management and invests across industrial subsectors including environmental services and critical infrastructure.
