Marlborough, MA and Charlotte, NC – 10/25/2024 – Wind River Environmental, LLC (“Wind River Environmental”), the nation’s premier provider of non-hazardous liquid waste solutions, announced today the acquisitions of Greenway Waste Solutions, A Griffin Brothers Company (“Greenway”) and TCW Wastewater Management (“TCW”) in Charlotte, North Carolina.
With its 40 employees, Greenway has been an active member of the Charlotte and Raleigh Durham communities since 2018 by providing high quality and responsive service to restaurant owners and homeowners alike. Together with its TCW division, Greenway has quickly emerged as one of the largest and most respected wastewater solution providers in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. Its services and capabilities complement the extensive wastewater services already offered by Wind River Environmental through its local team at Stanley Environmental. Greenway was previously owned and operated by Reese Blackwell, Adam Morrison, Brandon Long, and Scott Simmons, all of whom will stay actively involved over the coming months to ensure a seamless transition for their customers and employees. Both organizations are publicly committed to maintaining Greenway’s strong involvement in the community and its focus on sustainable and environmentally responsible wastewater solutions.
David Parry, Chief Executive Officer for Wind River Environmental, stated, “Greenway Waste Solutions is a perfect complement to our existing operations throughout North Carolina. Greenway is our 4th acquisition in North Carolina in recent years, and we are confident it will both strengthen our team at Stanley Environmental and allow us further our goal of being the best service provider in the state.” He added, “We are especially excited to welcome Brandon, Scott and their entire team. They bring many years of relevant experience and a wealth of local knowledge that will enable us to serve our customers efficiently and meet the ever-changing wastewater needs of the communities we serve.”
On behalf of my partners and colleagues at Greenway Waste Solutions, owner Reese Blackwell stated, "I have had the honor of watching our company grow from inception with the unwavering support of our neighbors, our community and my incredible partners and employees. I would especially like to thank our longtime customers and employees for their many years of loyalty.” Reese added, “I'm excited for us to be partnering with Wind River Environmental as we move to the next chapter of our evolution. Wind River Environmental brings a valuable network of industry professionals, additional service offerings, and cutting edge technology and resources which will strongly enhance our ability to meet our customers’ septic and grease needs.”
