Three mountain environmental service companies have merged with Henderson-based Mountain Waste & Recycling to form one of the largest waste-and-recycling companies in Colorado.
Timberline Disposal, Talking Trash and Rocky Mountain Cabana have operated in the mountain towns within Summit County, and parts of Clear Creek County for years, competing with the huge, Texas-based public company that serves all parts of the U.S.
Some redundant truck routes will be eliminated, but there will be no employee layoffs. Mountain Waste’s ongoing growth will require that the company retain the services of all its good employees.
The companies will operate under the name Timberline Disposal & Recycling, based in Silverthorne, Colo. Mountain Waste & Recycling, which began as an independent company in the Roaring Fork Valley near Aspen, also owns Vail Honeywagon, so the company tends to be more attuned to the unique needs of mountain customers.
Terms of the merger, including purchase price, were not disclosed. Two of the top executives of the merging companies will remain investors with Mountain Waste.
Signage and other branding will be incorporated on a gradual basis. Eventually, customers will have one phone number and one website with a single point for online payment.
