During the 1980s, the corporation acquired over 200 other companies to consolidate landfill sites and expand its service area.

The company is headquartered in Colerain Township, outside the Cincinnati, Ohio metro area. It provides disposal services for areas of West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana, typically contracting with specific municipalities.
