SLAVE LAKE, Alta. — Contrans Group has purchased waste collection company Deuce Disposal.

Based in Slave Lake, Alta., Deuce has been providing waste collection services – including residential waste collection and recycling, commercial waste collection/recycling, metals processing and custom waste bin solutions – since 1981.

It is expected to bring annual revenues of $9 million to Contrans.

“Since our entry into the waste collection business in 2010, we have been looking to add to this line of business,” said Contrans chairman and chief executive officer Stan Dunford. “This successful business was built on a foundation of exceptional service. The team at Deuce has developed some customized collection services for unique customers in their local area. There are numerous new investments in the local businesses and the oilfield production infrastructure, and we believe Deuce will successfully grow along with its customers. This transaction adds a new dimension to our fast growing waste collection business in Alberta.”
