New Bedford, Mass.-based ABC Disposal Service recently acquired the commercial waste business of United Waste Management including two material recovery transfer stations in Wareham and East Sandwich. United Waste, in turn, had bought the assets in July 2010 from Casella Waste Systems for $7.8 million. ABC Disposal and its sister company New Bedford Waste Services, is a 44-year-old family owned enterprise with operations in Massachusetts and Rhode Island that serves 15,000 commercial, and more than 45,000 residential customers. "Combining the capabilities of these transfer stations with our current 1,500-ton-per-day limit allows New Bedford Waste Services to efficiently manage as many as 3,015 tons of materials each day," said Vice President and General Manager Michael Camara, "These two facilities improve our ability to process a larger percentage of materials which can then be recycled and reused."
