WCA Waste Corporation (WCA), a vertically integrated, non-hazardous solid waste services company, announced its expansion in the Houston market with the merger of Global Waste Services, LLC.

Global Waste Services is a Houston-based waste collection company that provides trash and recycling services for industrial, commercial and residential customers. In addition to collection operations, Global Waste Services also operates the largest independently owned materials recovery facility in the Houston area and processes more than 50,000 tons of recovered fiber per year. The merger with Global Waste Services enables WCA to expand its sustainability efforts and offer more recycling options to Houston area customers.

"WCA and Global Waste Services are committed to providing our customers in the Houston area with the same high-quality service they have grown accustomed to," said Matt Graham, WCA's regional vice president, in a statement. "With our experience and resources, we look forward to expanding our business operations in the Houston market with the same focus on safety standards and environmental stewardship that our customers have come to expect."
