Bailey, MI – American Classic Dumpster Company, a West Michigan service provider of dumpsters, residential trash services, and recycling and Cart-Right Recycling, a waste management & recycling provider, today announced a definitive merger agreement to enhance their waste management and recycling outreach.  

The merger with Cart-Right Recycling, based in Fremont MI, further increases American Classic Dumpsters’ reach in the West Michigan area.  The combination of these two entities will allow the companies to assist their customers in creating a more sustainable tomorrow.  “Recycling and sustainability are the future of waste management,” said Jacob Thompson, owner of American Classic Dumpsters.  “This partnership is expected to result in greater recycling and waste management efforts and efficiencies.”  

“A merger was formed with American Classic Dumpsters to help Cart-Right Recycling broaden its reach in the Newaygo County area,” commented Mark Ramsey, Cart-Right Owner.  “We are thrilled to partner with American Classic and transition our small recycling business into a larger service area.  This will allow us to increase recycling accessibility in our rural area.  By joining with the American Classic team, Lola and I will continue to work on keeping recycling alive in Newaygo County and hopefully beyond.” 

The merger of American Classic Dumpsters and Cart-Right Recycling will operate under the name of American Classic Dumpsters.  The merger was accomplished when the two companies realized their recycling aspirations for Newaygo County and beyond were aligned.  

“We feel strongly that joining forces with Cart-Right will allow us to realize our strategic goals faster,” explained Jacob Thompson.  

Cart-Right Recycling, owned by Mark Ramsey and Lola Harmon-Ramsey, began in 2005 as a residential curbside recycling provider for the City of Fremont.  The recycling service has extended into Newaygo County and today is servicing all six of the county recycling drop off centers and commercial recycling routes.
