Case Description
Waste Management sought to acquire small container commercial hauling assets in Broward County, Florida from Allied Waste. U.S. and Florida challenged the transaction, alleging that the proposed acquisition would reduce from three to two the number of significant firms that compete to provide small container commercial hauling services in open areas of Broward County, Florida. After the acquisition, Waste Management would control over 68 percent of total market revenues. Parties agreed to divest 11 small container commercial hauling routes, with associated assets to a buyer approved by DOJ after consultation with Florida. If assets are not sold, trustee will be appointed by OOJ.
