Interstate Waste Services acquires largest independent hauler in Upstate New York
The purchase of Marangi Disposal follows IWS' success in securing the largest number of commercial waste zones in NYC
Interstate Waste Services (IWS), a waste-by-rail provider of solid waste collection, disposal, and recycling services, has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Marangi Disposal, the largest independent waste collector in Upstate New York.
The transaction marks another significant step in IWS' strategic regional growth in the tri-state area, following IWS' acquisition of Connecticut-based Oak Ridge Waste & Recycling and its subsidiary Action Environmental's success in securing the largest number of commercial waste zones in New York City earlier this year.
Marangi Disposal acquisition expands reach in the tri-state area
Family-owned and operated since 1955, Marangi serves commercial, residential, municipal, and industrial customers throughout New York's Orange and Rockland counties.
Over the past 25 years, Marangi has been a customer of IWS, making the acquisition a natural progression of the relationship between the companies.
"We're thrilled to welcome the Marangi team and customers to the IWS family," said Mike DiBella, CEO of IWS. "As someone who's grown up in the waste industry through a local family business, I have great respect for the Marangi family and their legacy. Our longstanding relationship was critical to reaching a successful closing. We remain committed to upholding the values that have made Marangi synonymous with quality and reliability while enhancing IWS' integrated service offerings."
Mike Marangi, CEO of Marangi Disposal, will remain with the company post-acquisition as part of IWS, ensuring a smooth transition.
"We are excited to merge our operations with IWS and expand the service offerings we provide to our customers and communities," said Marangi. "With a 25-year professional relationship rooted in shared family values and a commitment to excellence, this partnership is a natural fit."
IWS nearly doubles presence with Marangi assets
The acquisition adds over 50 collection vehicles and 40 routes to IWS' operations, nearly doubling its presence in Upstate New York.
It strengthens IWS' existing regional infrastructure, which includes a waste-by-rail transfer network and a $30 million recycling facility set to open in North Arlington, New Jersey, later this year.
These resources position IWS to deliver fully integrated services to Marangi's customers while driving growth and efficiency in the tri-state area.
