Toronto-based trash giant Waste Connections has acquired Springs Waste Systems, the last remaining locally owned company among the four largest trash haulers in the Colorado Springs area.
Waste Connections bought Springs Waste Systems and trash companies in Bailey, southwest of Denver, and in Omaha, Neb., last month from the Shrader family. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed. The deals make Waste Connections the largest waste disposal company in the Colorado Springs area, employing 167 people to serve 75,000 residential customers on 90 routes from offices near Marksheffel Road and Constitution Avenue and near Circle Drive and Interstate 25. The company also operates a transfer station near Security and a landfill in Fountain.
