Advanced Disposal Services Completes Acquisition of Excel Waste

Advanced Disposal Services Inc., a Jacksonville, Fla.-based waste management firm, closed on the acquisition of Excel Waste, a Nashville, Tenn., firm, on Feb. 26. The deal is expected to strengthen ADS’s waste management business in Tennessee, especially in construction and demolition recycling business.

Excel, which will go under the name of Advance Disposal Services, has a C&D processing operation in Nashville. Gerald Greene, Advance Disposal’s Mid-South area president, says that the C&D operation will allow builders in the area to meet LEED certification. The facility is capable of handling concrete, OCC, brick and other types of C&D material. Greene says the company also will start to handle sheetrock from the Nashville area in the near future.

The Excel deal is the second acquisition for ADS in the Greater Nashville area in the past month.

"With the acquisition of this C&D recycling facility, we will give our commercial customers the ability to bid on LEED certified projects because they know that they have a waste and recycling partner in Advanced Disposal helping them reach their goals of waste reduction and sustainability throughout their business," Greene notes.

ADS operates in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee and North Carolina.
