Ecowaste expands Gulf Coast footprint with Adams Sanitation deal

By AI, Created 10:52 AM UTC, May 20, 2026, /AGP/ – Ecowaste Solutions has acquired Adams Sanitation, adding roughly 29,000 customers, seven municipal contracts and about 100 employees across Florida’s Panhandle. The deal completes a contiguous Gulf Coast network from the Mississippi coast through Northwest Florida and into Georgia, strengthening the company’s regional disposal and collection system.

Why it matters: - The acquisition gives Ecowaste Solutions a continuous Gulf Coast operating corridor, which can improve route density, disposal access and regional scale. - Adams Sanitation brings an established municipal base in Northwest Florida, including contracts tied to growing coastal and inland communities. - The deal extends Ecowaste’s presence across the South and Mid-South after a fast pace of acquisitions in 2026.

What happened: - Ecowaste Solutions announced the acquisition of Adams Sanitation on May 1, 2026. - Adams Sanitation serves more than 29,000 customers across Santa Rosa and Okaloosa counties in Florida. - The acquired business includes about 100 employees and seven municipal contracts. - Ecowaste said the transaction completes a contiguous collection and disposal corridor from the Mississippi Gulf Coast through the Florida Panhandle.

The details: - Adams Sanitation was founded in the 1980s and was acquired by Nathan and Crystal Boyles in 2018. - The company operates about 40 collection vehicles with an average fleet age of just over two years. - Municipal service areas include Crestview, Santa Rosa School District, Alys Beach, Rosemary Beach and the Town of Jay. - The portfolio also includes recently awarded contracts in Decatur County, Ga., and Columbia County, Fla. - Ecowaste said the service area reaches from Milton east through Crestview, Fort Walton Beach and Destin, and extends into Georgia and North Florida. - Adams currently serves roughly 20% of a 155,000-home addressable market across Santa Rosa and Okaloosa counties. - Ecowaste said the acquired operations will integrate into its Gulf Coast region. - That region now includes collection operations in Mobile, Pensacola, Milton, Dothan, Gulfport and Fort Walton Beach. - The Gulf Coast network is anchored by the Turkey Troy and Axis MSW landfills in Alabama, the Milton C&D landfill, and the recently acquired Rosehill C&D landfill and MSW transfer station from MDI Enterprises. - Ecowaste said Adams CEO Tim Bolduc will stay on in a regional vice president role.

Between the lines: - The acquisition appears aimed at tying together local brands and municipal relationships while reducing gaps between existing Ecowaste markets. - Ecowaste’s rapid M&A pace suggests the company is using acquisitions to build density before focusing on operational integration. - The emphasis on a young fleet and municipal trust points to service reliability as a key value driver in the deal.

What’s next: - Ecowaste will fold Adams Sanitation into its Gulf Coast operating structure. - The company will continue integrating recent acquisitions across the Gulf Coast, North Texas, Kansas and the Tulsa and Kansas City markets. - Ecowaste said it is building a broader regional waste collection, recycling and disposal platform through strategic growth.

The bottom line: - Ecowaste is turning a string of acquisitions into a denser Gulf Coast network, and Adams Sanitation fills one of the last major gaps in that footprint.
