Cards continues expansion in Texas

Arkansas-based Cards has announced the acquisition of Homeland Waste Management, a subscription residential, commercial and roll-off waste hauler based in Wylie, Texas, for an undisclosed sum. The purchase was effective immediately and represents the company’s fifth Texas-based hauling acquisition.

Cards now operates in Dallas, Collin, Hunt and Rockwall counties, serving residents and commercial clients through its city of Anna, Texas, franchise award and the acquisitions of DR Disposal and Recycling in 2019, Reed Sanitation in 2022, Barnes Waste Disposal and County Recycling Services in 2023 and now Homeland.

Homeland has served the waste and recycling needs of the Dallas metro area and surrounding counties since 2014. The company will continue operations out of Cards’ Anna location, further densifying its subscription residential, commercial front-load and permanent and temporary roll-off services. 

“Our acquisition of Homeland augments our recently announced acquisition of Barnes Waste and strengthens our overall service footprint in Dallas metro,” Cards Chief Executive Officer Dan Christensen says. “We offer a warm Cards welcome to all Homeland customers and will be adding new jobs, equipment and local spend into the market for months to come.” 

Homeland President Drew Stewart says, “Our residential and commercial customers can expect a seamless transition with a continued focus on exceptional customer experiences. It’s been enjoyable getting to know the Cards management team and to know they share in our commitment to our esteemed customers, for whom we have been privileged to serve.”

Dustin Reynolds, chief revenue officer at Cards, says Homeland was an attractive purchase because of the company’s passion for customer service and willingness to accommodate customer requests. “I also noticed they had a unique relationship with their employees,” he says, describing it as a “very special bond, unlike anything I’ve seen.” 

Cards Recycling is a regional provider of solid waste hauling, transfer and disposal services for residential and commercial clients. The company operates hauling facilities, transfer stations, recycling centers and landfills.

When profiled in the March 2022 issue of Recycling Today Media Group publication Waste Today, Christensen said of the company’s acquisition strategy, “What we really look for is quality operations with quality equipment and quality employees. And we’ve been very fortunate with the acquisitions that we’ve made, and we’ve got some really great employees that have helped bring new ideas to our existing platform.”
