Northstar Recycling Company Acquires Complete Recycling

Northstar Recycling Company, LLC (“Northstar”), a national leader in sustainability-oriented managed waste and recycling solutions, today announced the acquisition of Complete Recycling, LLC (“Complete Recycling”), another asset-light provider of innovative recycling services.

“We are pleased to announce the addition of Complete Recycling to Northstar,” said Seth and Noah Goodman in a joint statement on behalf of Northstar. “This is a very logical combination and complementary partnership given the fundamental overlap in our service offerings and end markets. This highly strategic transaction not only allows us to offer expanded services to our existing clients but also enhances the ability of the combined business to serve additional customers and vendors through a more scaled platform. We are looking forward to working with the Complete Recycling team to further advance our mutual goal of helping businesses recycle more and landfill less.”

“Complete Recycling and Northstar Recycling are very similar businesses – we share the same value proposition for our customers and commitment to helping our clients achieve their landfill diversion and related sustainability initiatives,” said Kevin Flynn, CEO of Complete Recycling. “I am excited to continue in my role and further support the combined Northstar – Complete organization; together, we have a powerful national presence and can open up significant new opportunities for each other.”
