"Integrating GDM Environmental into our operations highlights our commitment to expanding our footprint and delivering exceptional waste management solutions," said Dave Parry, CEO of Wind River Environmental. "We are excited to welcome GDM's dedicated team and loyal customers into the Wind River community." The GDM acquisition follows Wind River's June 2026 acquisition of HydroTech Environmental and its March 2026 acquisition of J&M Transfer, Inc., reflecting a sustained pace of growth as the company extends its reach beyond its Eastern U.S. base.
