GFL Environmental Inc. Reaches Agreement with the Canadian Competition Bureau
VAUGHAN, ON, April 14, 2022 – GFL Environmental Inc. (NYSE:GFL)(TSX:GFL) (“GFL” or the “Company”) announced today that it has reached an agreement with the Canadian Competition Bureau (the “Bureau”) to address concerns raised by the Bureau with the Company’s acquisition of the solid waste and environmental services businesses of Terrapure Environmental Ltd., which acquisition closed on August 17, 2021.
GFL worked collaboratively with the Bureau to expeditiously reach an agreement under which GFL has agreed to divest of four liquid waste facilities and three tank farms, located in Western Canada. These sites were expected to generate annual aggregate revenue of approximately $20 million in 2022.
