ReCommunity

Republic Services, Inc. (NYSE: RSG) has announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire ReCommunity Holdings II, Inc., the largest independent recycling-processing company in the United States. ReCommunity's assets and expertise will complement Republic's existing recycling collection and processing operations, and will enable the Company to meet its customers' growing demand for recycling in multiple markets.

ReCommunity, a leading recycling and resource recovery company, headquartered in Charlotte, sees challenges on the horizon for the recycling industry if load safety and inbound quality does not meet commodity/end-market requirements.
