Santek Waste Services, LLC has acquired Bates Sanitation, Inc. and Major Waste Services, adding to its list of recent acquisitions in the North Atlanta and Houston markets.

“Our goal this year has been focused on expanding our waste collection efforts in markets where we’re committed to building a solid and promising presence,” Santek Chief Business Development Officer Edward Caylor said in a statement. “As we continue to expand upon our footprint, we’re actively seeking more independent haulers who have an interest in selling their companies.”

The acquisitions, which went into effect on March 1, include all of Bates’ residential customers in Cherokee County, Ga., and all of Major Waste’s residential customers in Montgomery County, Texas, and San Jacinto County, Texas.
