Dive Brief:
- On-Site Information Destruction of Waterloo, IA, has taken over Chicago-based Mid America Recycling's document destruction accounts while Mid America continues providing all other recycling services. The partnership follows Mid America's June 2015 purchase of a Des Moines, IA material recovery facility (MRF) from Waste Management — the largest MRF in that state.
- On-Site Information Destruction, delivering document, hard drive, and product destruction services, spans three states and owns and operates three facilities in two states.
- Mid America Recycling, specializing in recycling, waste management, and business management, is the largest deposit container processor in Iowa, and runs a program to help recycle over 18,000 tons of residential waste a year.
Dive Insight:
Partnerships have enabled businesses to pass along some functions while they focus on core operations as they grow or embark on new plans.
This is the planned strategy of these two companies, a strategy both anticipate will increase their efficiencies while meeting customer demand along multiple service lines. Mid America Recycling will concentrate solely on recycling and processing, while On-Site will expand its secure document destruction services.
