Republic Services Acquires Prineville Disposal

Republic Services Inc., which operates garbage service in parts of Bend and Deschutes County, has purchased the family owned Prineville Disposal.

The change in ownership was expected to become official Saturday, and the city approved the transfer of the franchise agreement last month, said Steve Forrester, Prineville city manager. Prineville Disposal has been family owned for the past 43 years, first by Gary and Sally Goodman and later their daughter and her husband, Emily and Steve Holliday.

This is the second acquisition in Central Oregon for the nation’s second-largest trash company, Republic Services, which purchased Bend Garbage & Recycling from the Bailey family last year.

Bend Garbage & Recycling serves north Bend, Sisters, Redmond and Deschutes County. It also has High Country Disposal and Deschutes Recycling, which operates at Knott Landfill. The company has 35,000 customers. Republic Services has more than 14 million customers nationwide.
