DTG Recycle acquires Maltby Container & Recycling in asset purchase

DTG Recycle adds its 10th MRF through the transaction and increases its container fleet to over 2,300 dumpsters.


DTG Recycle, a Mill Creek, Washington-based recycler of commercial, industrial, construction and demolition waste in the Pacific Northwest, has announced the acquisition of “substantially all assets” from Maltby Container and Recycling.

Maltby Container, based in Maltby, Washington, operates a fleet of recycling containers and a construction and demolition (C&D) material recovery facility (MRF) and is a demolition contractor. The transaction includes the sale of real estate assets Maltby Container operates on.

With this acquisition, DTG Recycle will increase its container division to over 2,300 dumpsters and a fleet of over 150 trucks. The acquisition also adds another King County designated C&D processing facility to its portfolio, consolidating its position as the operator of six out of eight facilities approved to receive mixed C&D material generated in King County and the city of Seattle.

This is DTG Recycle’s 10th MRF in the region. With the addition of Maltby Container, DTG Recycle says the company will further strengthen its position as the dominant C&D recycler in the Pacific Northwest.

“Tony McAuliffe [founder of Maltby Container] is a pioneer in the recycling industry and has built a strong business with loyal customers and even more loyal employees, and we are excited to be able to integrate this amazing business that Tony has built into the juggernaut that DTG Recycle has become in the Pacific Northwest,” says Dan Guimont, founder of DTG Recycle.

DTG Recycle will retain more than 30 Maltby Container employees following the acquisition, according to a release.
