Santek Waste Services, Inc. (Cleveland, TN) said it bought two recycling companies, Evans Recycling and Davis Disposal, both of which are located in northwestern Georgia. Evans, which is Santek's first recycling acquisition, brings with it a multiple-stream material recovery facility (MRF) that is co-located at the Redbone Ridges Landfill in Calhoun, GA. Santek manages that landfill for Gordon County under a long-term contract and said that operating the MRF will complement its industrial waste reduction efforts. Similarly, Davis Disposal will help Santek expand residential collection into the North Georgia market while bringing more volume into its own landfills. "It's an exciting time in the life of our company, and we're evaluating other opportunities which are strategic to growing our hauling operations and our landfill partnerships with local government," said Santek President Eddie Caylor. Santek manages 16 solid waste landfills, three transfer stations and four waste collection companies in nine states. Terms of the deals were not disclosed.
