The Nye County, NV Commission addressed a series of agenda items related to the transfer of solid waste franchise agreements with the towns of Pahrump, Beatty and Amargosa following the sale of longtime local company Pahrump Valley Disposal to Waste Connections, Inc. Pahrump Valley Disposal notified Nye County on July 15 that Waste Connections intended to enter into a stock purchase agreement in which Waste Connections would purchase 100% of the ownership of Pahrump Valley Disposal. Pahrump Valley Disposal representatives said they felt the company was very well-tooled to take over and continue to provide reliable local trash collection and recycling services.
“As you know, we recently made the difficult decision to sell our company and we’re here today to introduce Waste Connections and their qualifications and to request the board’s consent to the change of control of Pahrump Valley Disposal pursuant to the solid waste franchise agreement,” Pahrump Valley Disposal President John Shea told commissioners.
“For the past 24 years it has been an honor to work with Nye County and the towns of Pahrump, Beatty and Amargosa,” Shea stated. “We’ve worked hard building a solid waste program and the associated infrastructure to serve these communities throughout the foreseeable future. We’re proud of what we have accomplished in that time and the team we’ve built. We’re really proud of the employees and how hard they work day-in and day-out to service our customers.”
