We are pleased to announce that Allied Waste and Republic are merging to firmly establish the combined company as one of the nation’s leading waste and environmental service providers. We expect this transition to be seamless for our customers. You will continue to receive the same great service from the same professional employees who serve you today.

Until the transaction closes, which is expected by the end of 2008, we will continue to operate as two independent companies.
 

As we move toward the integration of our two companies, we will keep you informed of developments that may affect you. For more information, please visit our transaction website at http://www.republicallied.com/.
