Red Dog Equity Sells Superior Waste

ATLANTA, Sept. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Red Dog Equity LLC, an Atlanta-based private equity firm, announced today that it sold Superior Waste Industries, LLC, a Shawnee, OK-based environmental services holding company, to GFL Environmental Inc. (NYSE: GFL) in an all-cash transaction. Superior was established in March 2022 by Billy Dietrich, a waste industry veteran with over 30 years of experience at leading environmental services companies, to acquire Central Disposal, a Shawnee, Oklahoma-based fully-integrated solid waste management company founded by Mike Adcock. Superior Waste went on to acquire Harley Hollan later in 2022, establishing its footprint in the Tulsa, OK market, Sue's Recycling and Sanitation in 2024, which extended Superior's reach into Vian and Eufaula, OK, and SDS Roll-off Dumpsters, deepening its commitment to the Shawnee, OK market in 2024. 

"We couldn't be more pleased with the outcome of our partnership with Billy Dietrich and the teams at Superior Waste and its subsidiaries," said Toby Chambers, co-managing partner at Red Dog Equity. He added, "Investing in partnership with an outstanding entrepreneur, what we call a 'Red Dog,' focusing on people, systems, and processes, and being disciplined acquirers were the keys to the successful outcome here." When asked his thoughts about GFL, Chambers stated, "We've known Patrick Dovigi, the Founder and CEO of GFL, for over fifteen years and are confident GFL will take excellent care of Superior's team and customers."

"We're grateful to Billy [Dietrich], the Adcock family, all those on Superior's teams who came to work every day to provide service to their communities, and our investor partners at TPO [the Pritzker Organization] and Monroe [Capital]", said Tom Connolly, co-managing partner of Red Dog Equity. He continued, "We're very proud of the company Billy built at Superior Waste and the outcome we were able to achieve for our investors."

"Building a solid waste business like Superior has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember, and Red Dog was the perfect partner for me," said Billy Dietrich, founder and CEO of Superior Waste. He added," They supported me every step of the way."

Stifel acted as exclusive financial advisor to Superior on this transaction.
