Apex Waste Solutions

Apex acquires and consolidates mid-market solid waste assets — primarily hauling companies and municipal solid waste landfills — within the intermountain West. The strategy targets vertical integration of collection, transfer, and disposal operations to capture margin across the value chain.

Apex operates more as a permanent capital consolidator than a traditional fund-based private equity firm. It functions as an operating company, directly owning and operating the waste assets it acquires rather than holding them for a defined exit timeline.

The firm's focus is Colorado and neighboring Rocky Mountain states. This region benefits from population growth, limited new landfill permitting due to regulatory and geographic constraints, and a fragmented base of independent operators — all favorable conditions for a consolidation strategy.
