U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
ANTITRUST DIVISION
United States v. Waste Industries USA, Inc.
TAKE NOTICE that a proposed Final Judgment has been filed with the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia in a civil antitrust case, United States v. Waste Industries USA, Inc., Civil Action No. 2:05CV468. On August 8, 2005, the United States filed a Complaint, which sought to compel Waste Industries USA, Inc. to divest certain small container commercial hauling assets in the Norfolk, Virginia area acquired from Allied Waste Industries, Inc., and to enjoin Waste Industries from continuing certain anticompetitive contracting practices. The Complaint alleges that Waste Industries' acquisition of these small container commercial hauling assets substantially lessened competition in the market for small container commercial hauling services, in violation of the Section 7 of the Clayton Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C. § 18. The proposed Final Judgment, also filed on August 8, 2005, requires defendant to divest contracts and accounts on selected Waste Industries small container commercial hauling routes in the Norfolk, Virginia area, and to alter its existing and future small container commercial waste hauling contracts in that area. A Competitive Impact Statement filed by the United States describes the Complaint, the proposed Final Judgment, the industry, and the remedies available to private litigants who may have been injured by the alleged violation. Copies of the Complaint, proposed Final Judgment, and Competitive Impact Statement are available for inspection at the Department of Justice in Washington, D.C., Room 200, 325 Seventh Street, N.W., on the Internet at http://www.usdoj.gov/atr, and at the Office of the Clerk of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia (Norfolk Division).
