Waste Connections buys South Dakota hauling assets

Texas-based waste firm adds routes in Rapid City, South Dakota.


Waste Connections Inc., The Woodlands, Texas, has purchased select noncore hauling assets of Red River Waste Solutions (RR Waste), Dripping Springs, Texas. The specific terms of the transaction have not been disclosed. The Environmental and Industrial Services team of Cleveland-based law firm Brown Gibbons Lang and Co. (BGL) served as financial advisor to RR Waste in the transaction.

Waste Connections purchased RR Waste's hauling operation in Rapid City, South Dakota, which provides solid waste collection, recycling and disposal services to residential and commercial customers. The transaction combines the two largest waste management participants in the South Dakota market. RR Waste remains highly acquisitive in its current markets, according to BGL.
