Mid-Atlantic regional waste and recycling company EnviroSolutions, Inc. (ESI) has acquired Washington, D.C.-based Bowies Inc. for an undisclosed amount. Bowie’s, which has more than 500 customers and 1,000 locations, is the oldest family-owned and operated solid waste collection and recycling company in the D.C. Metro area.

“We are very excited about this acquisition,” said EnviroSolutions, Inc. President and CEO Dean Kattler in a statement. “Bowie’s is a great company with a solid group of dedicated employees and a rich history in the district. Bowie’s customer-first approach fits nicely into ESI’s philosophy of ‘Service Drives Us’ and our mission to be collaborative, proactive, reliable, friendly and responsive to our customers and business partners. Bowie’s business complements our current service area and significantly increases our ability to provide downtown D.C. commercial rear-load service as part of our diverse suite of customer service offerings.”

This acquisition is just the first step in ESI’s plan to grow its Mid-Atlantic service footprint, according to Kattler.
