Action Environmental Services Expands NYC Operations with Key Acquisitions Before Waste Zone Rollout
In the bustling metropolis of New York City, Action Carting Environmental Services, Inc. (commonly referred to as Action) has recently taken significant steps to fortify its operational capabilities in anticipation of the imminent rollout of the Commercial Waste Zones (CWZ) program. As a subsidiary of Interstate Waste Services, Inc. (IWS), Action has announced the completion of several notable acquisitions over the last five months, including Diverse Recycling Solutions, Full Circle Recycling Services, LLC., as well as selected assets from Evergreen Waste Corp. and City Waste Services. These strategic moves not only enhance Action's operational footprint in the city but also preserve the legacies of trusted, established waste management operators in the area.
The integration of these entities into the Action brand symbolizes a commitment to sustainable growth and community development. This endeavor aligns seamlessly with the objectives of the CWZ program, which aims to significantly reduce commercial waste vehicle traffic—potentially by as much as 50%—while improving safety standards and lowering emissions across the five boroughs of New York City.
"Sustainable growth is at the forefront of our initiatives as we prepare for the CWZ program's implementation," stated Josh Haraf, the Vice President for the New York market at Interstate Waste Services. He expressed a warm welcome to the new team members from the acquired companies, emphasizing the importance of their experience and community ties. Haraf's remarks underline a dual mission: expanding operational capacity while honoring the legacies of the operators that have played pivotal roles in their neighborhoods.
Supporters of the CWZ initiative believe it will not only streamline the commercial waste collection process but will also encourage more environmentally friendly practices throughout the city. By leveraging the extensive resources and knowledge base of IWS, Action plans to deliver unparalleled value and service quality to its customers.
Gabriel Montano, the Managing Partner of Diverse Recycling Solutions, expressed excitement over the union, stating, "Joining forces with Action and IWS allows us to build on the strong foundation we've created. This partnership enables us to continue our meaningful work while providing enhanced service levels made possible through IWS's robust resources."
Mike DiBella, CEO of Interstate Waste Services, added further insight into the significance of these acquisitions: "Action has deep roots in New York City, built over decades of service. These acquisitions represent a crucial leap forward for our operations, helping us grow while still respecting the businesses that have long supported these communities."
The upcoming CWZ program secured its status under Local Law 199 and is a response to the pressing need for more organized and environmentally conscious waste management practices in one of the world’s most densely populated urban centers. It is expected that the CWZ will create a more sustainable approach to handling commercial waste, promoting a greener New York for decades to come.
As Action proceeds with integrating the newly acquired operations into its framework, customers and communities across NYC can look forward to improved waste management services that honor their local histories while advancing towards a sustainable future. With their commitment to environmental responsibility, efficiency, and superior customer service, Action Carting is poised to lead the charge in transforming urban waste management in New York City.
