CARDS Holdings, Inc. (CARDS) announced the acquisition of Whittinghill Disposal Services (WDS), a key
competitor in the commercial and industrial waste hauling services sector out of Muskogee, Oklahoma.
This strategic purchase will increase CARDS’ permanent business portfolio and provide new service
offerings for eastern Oklahoma customers. “This acquisition increases density in our Oklahoma market
and bridges the gap between our current Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas operations. I know the
additional territory expansion will excite our customers through additional collection offerings and our
focus on recycling solutions”, says CEO Dan Christensen.
The WDS acquisition adds roughly 7,000 customers, 8 trucks and 15 employees. In addition to WDS
collection services, CARDS is acquiring recycling operations for construction and demolition material,
wood grinding and composting services. “These acquisitions help us grow our foothold, acquire talent,
and further complement the services we offer in existing markets,” said President Dan Christensen.
“Through either organic or in-organic service expansion, we will meet customer demands and grow
market share within our geographic reach.”
This acquisition was made possible through a recent capital investment made by Kinderhook Industries.
The investment has allowed CARDS to continue its growth strategy while becoming the leading provider
of waste and recycling services in the mid-south.
CARDS Recycling is a fully integrated, locally owned and operated, waste and recycling hauler that
offers: portable restroom, residential, commercial, roll-off, recycling and disposal services for homes,
businesses and contractors alike through its platform of owned transfer stations, recycling centers, and
landfills.
