Meridian Waste has acquired select assets of Lafferty Disposal, a residential waste collection company based in Meherrin, Virginia. The transaction closed October 1, 2026.
The acquisition expands Meridian Waste’s residential collection presence in south-central Virginia and will operate as a tuck-in to Meridian Waste – Lunenburg Hauling. The hauling operation is co-located with the company’s Lunenburg Landfill, creating an integrated collection and disposal platform to efficiently serve customers throughout the region. Lafferty Disposal provides residential waste collection services throughout Prince Edward and Nottoway counties, including communities such as Farmville, Blackstone, Crewe, Burkeville, Green Bay, Rice, Prospect and Pamplin.
The ability to internalize the acquired municipal solid waste (MSW) volumes is an important component of Meridian Waste’s integrated operating model. Rather than relying solely on third-party disposal outlets, Meridian Waste can manage the waste stream from collection through final disposal, providing greater operational control, transportation efficiencies and long term service reliability.
The Lunenburg Landfill provides an important piece of environmental infrastructure for south-central Virginia, offering permitted, professionally managed disposal capacity for the region’s municipal solid waste. Meridian Waste is committed to operating its disposal facilities safely and in accordance with applicable environmental regulations while protecting the land, air and water resources of the communities it serves.
