SPECIAL REPORT: The Big Three
Waste Management, Allied, Republic: Straight Talk From The Big Three In 2002

ISSUE: Volume 12, Number 6 June 2002

ABSTRACT:

The major consolidations of the late 1990s are over, and three companies stand as the giants of the solid waste industry: Waste Management, Allied, and Republic. As they go, so goes the industry. Solid Waste Digest sat down with some of the major players at each of the three companies, and discussed issues ranging from solid waste stocks to government regulation.

All three companies have learned lessons—either the hard way or by watching others—about stretching themselves too thin and expanding into non-solid-waste lines. All three have completed plans to refocus themselves on their solid waste lines, divesting themselves of noncore assets. The result is likely to be renewed efficiency and a new dedication to customer service.
