Meridian Waste Relocates Operating Facility to Address Growth in the Piedmont Triad Facility Move Completed June 2024
Meridian Waste Acquisitions, LLC announced and completed the relocation of its Goldston, N.C. hauling, maintenance and administrative facility to Sanford, N.C., approximately 4.5 miles from its former Goldston location. The new operations facility is located at 274-B Cumnock Road, Sanford, N.C. 27330 in Lee County. Due to Meridian Waste’s growth in the Piedmont Triad region, a newer, larger and more modernized facility was needed to ensure the proper storage and maintenance of the collection vehicles, greater office space and technology infrastructure for it expanding staff and a safer traffic flow for both collection rolling stock and personal staff vehicles.
The company’s growth is the result of strong sales, governmental contract wins and the acquisitions of Pinnacle Waste, LLC (2022), Triad Waste, LLC (2022), Carolina Waste Services, LLC (2024) and Tin Cans, LLC (2024) in the region. Meridian Waste made its first venture into the Triad region of the state when it bought Triad Waste in March 2022 at its original location of 13415 Hwy. 421, Goldston, N.C. 27252 from Tommy Smith Jr., who also owns and built the new operations facility. The existing transfer station, Triad Transfer Station, will soon be undergoing renovations and will remain at the Goldston location in Chatham County.
“Meridian Waste is a key market player in the Triad region of North Carolina, having invested millions of dollars in people, facilities, equipment and acquisitions,” stated Patrick Messinger, Area President of North Carolina. “The team of solid waste professionals we have retained and built here deserves a modern and clean facility in which to service our customers and to continue our growth trajectory. Like any new ‘home,’ we’re excited about the move and the greater flexibility it allows us to operate and expand our services both geographically and in regard to lines of business,” Messinger stated.
