LONDON, March 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
One of the major trends to emerge in the waste management industry has been an increase in M&A activity. The growth in the waste management industry, meanwhile, is being driven by the need to remove solid waste from landfills. Municipalities account for nearly a quarter of the U.S. solid waste management market. Given the fact that a number of municipalities are currently cash-strapped, 2013 could be a challenging year for companies such as Waste Management Inc. (NYSE: WM), Republic Services Inc. (NYSE: RSG), EnergySolutions Inc. (NYSE: ES), and Darling International Inc. (NYSE: DAR). On Friday, waste management sector ended mostly higher as the broad market rallied.
