Action Environmental Services Strengthens Its Position in Midtown South Waste Management Market

On April 28, 2026, Action Environmental Services, a subsidiary of Interstate Waste Services, Inc. (IWS), announced that it has been designated as an awardee for the Midtown South Commercial Waste Zone (CWZ). This accolade secures service for existing Action customers within the area and opens the door for new customers in Midtown South to select Action as their waste management provider as the zone launches on July 1, 2026.

Josh Haraf, Vice President for the New York City Market at IWS, expressed pride in this new designation. "The evaluation process for becoming a designated hauler is intense, and we are proud to be recognized among the best for our commitment to safety, sustainability, service quality, and competitive pricing. Our returning customers can expect the same dependable service they have always received, while we look forward to welcoming new clients with our extended resources and expertise."

Maintaining Excellence in Luxury Environments

The Midtown South designation means that prestigious clients like the Ritz-Carlton New York, Nomad can continue their partnership with Action Environmental as their designated hauler under the new CWZ program. Christopher Guardino, Director of Engineering at The Ritz-Carlton New York, emphasized the importance of having a waste management partner that can seamlessly fit into the luxury hotel environment. "When evaluating carting partners, it was crucial to choose a firm that understands our operational demands. Action Carting has consistently shown the ability to adjust to our specific standards, whether that be precise pickup times or addressing complex site conditions without causing disruption. Their proactive approach to waste management guarantees that it remains efficient and almost invisible—precisely what we need in a property like ours."

Expanding Capabilities with Strategic Acquisitions

In conjunction with receiving the Midtown South designation, Action Environmental Services has made several acquisitions that bolster its CWZ preparedness. These new additions include select assets from the ADM Environmental Group and MM Sanitation Services based in New York City.
