As of 2004 AlliedWasteIndustries was the second largest nonhazardous solid-waste management company in the United States (behind only Waste Management), with 2003 revenues of over $5.2 billion, assets of nearly $14 billion, and a workforce of approximately 29,000 employees.
AlliedWaste's transfer stations were a crucial link in the company's overall operations, as they maximized efficiency in disposing of waste to both landfills and recycling facilities.
AlliedWaste's countrywide sanitary landfills had average remaining lives of 40 years in 2004, and Van Weelden offered assurances that the company's waste management experts employed the most up-to-date methods in minimizing the effects on the environment produced by their landfills, all of which strictly adhered to federal, state, and local regulations.
Under the terms of the agreement WasteIndustries sold its collections operations in Ooltewah, Tennessee and Dalton, Georgia to AlliedWasteIndustries and simultaneously purchased Allied/BFI's Sampson County landfill in Roseboro, North Carolina and Fayetteville collection operations in eastern North Carolina.
WasteIndustries sold to Allied its hauling operations located in Ooltewah, Tennessee and Dalton, Georgia.
