EMERGING GROWTH COMPANY STATUS
We are an "emerging growth company" as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act ("JOBS Act"), and we are eligible
to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not
"emerging growth companies." See "Risk Factors--Risks Related to Our Business--As an "emerging growth company" under the
JOBS Act, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements." Accordingly, we have
included three, rather than five, years of selected financial data.
In addition, for so long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to:

·
have an auditor report on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley

Act of 2002;

·
comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding

mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor's report providing additional information about the audit and
the financial statements (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis);

·
submit certain executive compensation matters to shareholder advisory votes, such as "say-on-pay," "say-on-frequency"

and "say-on-golden parachutes" votes; and

·
disclose certain executive compensation-related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and

performance and comparisons of the CEO's compensation to median employee compensation.
Section 107 of the JOBS Act allows us to take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the
Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. We have irrevocably elected not to avail ourselves of this
exemption and, therefore, we will be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not
emerging growth companies.
We may remain an "emerging growth company" until the earliest of: (i) the last day of the fiscal year during which we have total
annual gross revenues of $1 billion or more, (ii) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first
sale of our common stock pursuant to an effective registration statement, (iii) the date on which we have, during the previous-3 year
period, issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt or (iv) the date on which we are deemed a "large accelerated filer," as
defined under the federal securities laws.
MARKET, INDUSTRY AND FINANCIAL DATA
This prospectus contains statistical data that we obtained from public industry publications, including the Waste Market
Overview & Outlook 2012 (Waste Business Journal, San Diego, CA, www.wastebusinessjournal.com). These publications generally
indicate that they have obtained their information from sources believed to be reliable, but do not guarantee the accuracy and
completeness of their information. Although we believe that the publications are reliable, neither we nor the exchange agent has
independently verified market industry data provided by third parties, and we and the exchange agent take no further responsibility for
this data. Similarly, while we believe our management's estimates with respect to our industry are reliable, our estimates have not
been verified by any independent sources, and neither we nor the exchange agent can assure you that they are accurate.
Some financial information in this prospectus has been rounded and, as a result, the numerical figures shown as totals in this
prospectus may vary slightly from the exact arithmetic aggregation of the figures that precede them.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
The following summary includes highlights of the more detailed information and consolidated financial statements
included elsewhere in this prospectus. This summary is not complete and does not contain all of the information that you
should consider before participating in the exchange offer. The summary is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed
information and our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included elsewhere in this prospectus.
For a more complete understanding of us, our business and the notes, we urge you to read this prospectus carefully, including
the sections entitled "Risk Factors," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" and our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere this prospectus, before
making a decision to participate in the exchange offer.
Unless otherwise noted, the terms "Company," "ADS Holdings," "we," "us" and "our" refer to ADS Waste Holdings,
Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. The term "guarantors" refers to our U.S. subsidiaries that guarantee our obligations
under the unregistered notes and the exchange notes.
Our Company
We are the largest privately owned non-hazardous solid waste management company in the United States and the
fourth-largest overall, as measured by revenue.* We are a leader in environmental services, providing non-hazardous solid waste
collection, transfer, recycling and disposal services for residential, commercial and industrial customers across the Southeast,
Midwest and Eastern regions of the United States as well as in the Commonwealth of the Bahamas. As of June 30, 2013, we serve
our customers through an extensive network of 99 collection operations, 88 transfer stations, 25 recycling facilities and 46
landfills across 20 states and in the Bahamas. We operate as a vertically integrated company, which entails collecting waste from
businesses and residences and disposing of that waste in our own landfills (referred to as internalization) or extracting those
components of collected waste that can be beneficially re-used. Our focus on vertical integration (controlling the waste stream
from inception to beneficial re-use or disposal) provides greater stability in the waste flow into our landfills and, therefore,
greater cash flow stability in our business.
We strategically focus on markets where we own a principal private disposal option and typically compete with no more
than one or two large national waste companies. Within the markets in which we operate, we have established a network of
vertically integrated geographic hubs to provide our customers with the high-quality comprehensive environmental services they
require. The waste collection and disposal business is a local business and, therefore, the characteristics and opportunities differ
in each of our markets. We believe our vertically integrated geographic hubs and extensive network of transfer stations and
landfills provide us with the most effective platform to capitalize on local growth opportunities and maximize the utilization of
our assets and the efficiency of our operations.
ADS Waste Holdings, Inc. was formed to be the parent company of ADStar Waste Holdings Corp. ("Advanced Disposal")
and HW Star Holdings Corp (the parent company of Highstar Waste Holdings, Corp or "Interstate Waste") and subsequently
purchased all of the stock of Veolia ES Solid Waste, Inc. ("Veolia SW" or "Veolia") from Veolia Environnment S.A. through the
assignment of a share purchase agreement from Highstar Capital. The acquisition of Veolia SW closed on November 20, 2012
(the "Acquisition"). ADStar Waste Holdings Corp. was formed in November 2000 to build a vertically integrated environmental
services business in the Southeastern United States. Following the acquisition of ADStar Waste Holdings Corp. and HW Star
Holdings Corp by Highstar Capital in 2006, our management team, together with Highstar (as defined below), successfully
implemented growth and operational strategies to establish Advanced Disposal and Interstate Waste among the largest waste
management companies in their respective markets.

Market Overview and Outlook 2012, giving effect to the Acquisition on a pro forma basis.

Our Industry
According to the Waste Business Journal's Waste Market Overview & Outlook 2012, a third party industry publication, the
U.S. solid waste management industry generated $55 billion in revenue in 2011 and is expected to reach $62 billion by 2016. The
industry can be classified into the following asset categories: collection operations, transfer stations, landfills, recycling facilities
and waste-to-energy plants. Owning and integrating these assets in a specific geographic market (vertical integration) typically
drives greater efficiency and superior operating margins relative to non-integrated competitors. Leading waste companies attempt
to create vertically integrated assets in an effort to enhance their return on capital, thus driving consolidation in a highly
fragmented industry.
The solid waste management industry is relatively resistant to cyclical economic trends due to the essential nature of the
services provided. Service providers benefit from a number of factors, including: (i) the essential nature of the service due to
predictable waste generation on the part of residential and commercial customers; (ii) the absence of cost-effective substitutes to
collection, beneficial re-use and landfill disposal; (iii) the favorable role of government regulation in the reduction of landfills
that are not in compliance with the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA") Subtitle D regulations; (iv) high barriers
to entry created by the lengthy permitting process and significant capital costs of landfill development; (v) municipalities and
local governments increasingly turning over management of public services, including waste services, to private firms; and
(vi) the local nature of the business.
In general, growth in the solid waste management industry is tied to population growth and overall economic production,
including commercial and industrial activity. Volumes in the commercial and industrial sectors typically are more exposed to
economic cycles than residential revenues.

Our Competitive Strengths
Vertically Integrated Solid Waste Services Platform. Our focus on vertical integration allows us to provide high-quality
service to our customers while simultaneously increasing growth opportunities and profitability. Waste collected from the
majority of our customers is internalized into our own transfer stations and landfills, allowing us to generate a steady, reliable
stream of waste volume and capture the incremental disposal margin that otherwise would be paid to a third party.

Table of Contents
Strategic Position in Attractive Markets. We have developed and implemented a disciplined market approach strategically
focused on markets where we own or can build vertically integrated geographic hubs, including a primary private disposal
option. We also operate in disposal-neutral markets, where the primary disposal option is controlled by a municipality or where
numerous disposal options are available. We serve primary (densely populated) and secondary (less populated) markets that meet
our selection criteria. While primary markets typically offer highly efficient route densities, secondary markets provide other
important advantages, such as greater opportunities to gain market share through new business and consolidation, and generally
higher and more stable pricing. We believe that this disciplined market selection approach, coupled with our dense network of
collection routes, transfer station network and landfill disposal sites is a major driving force behind success.
Diversified and Stable Business with Long-Term Contracts. We serve over 2.5 million residential customers,
approximately 266,000 commercial and industrial customers and 706 municipalities, with no single customer representing more
than 1.8% of revenues in 2012. Our revenue base is distributed across various geographic markets and lines of business, which
provides significant diversification and protection from cyclical or event-driven disruptions in any specific market. The
advantage of these diverse revenue sources was demonstrated during the recent recession as construction and demolition volumes
declined significantly, while our revenues from our recurring customers continued to grow. We also benefit from long-term
contracts with municipalities and commercial collection customers. These long-term contracts, which range from three to five
years or longer, provide stable and predictable future cash flows.
Strategically Located and Difficult to Replicate Network of Landfill Assets with Long Useful Lives. We seek to
capitalize on our difficult to replicate network of vertically integrated geographic hubs, at the core of which lie strategically
located transfer stations, recycling facilities and landfills. Due to the high cost of new landfill development and stringent
environmental and community restrictions, existing landfills with significant disposal capacity are attractive and valuable assets.
Our major landfills either enjoy substantial remaining capacities or are currently undergoing expansion initiatives that will ensure
sufficient capacity for the foreseeable future. We have a strong track record of navigating regulatory approval processes, and are
confident in our ability to successfully complete ongoing expansion initiatives on schedule.
Exceptional Management Team. The key members of our management team have an average of approximately 21 years
experience in the waste industry, including operations, acquisitions and the development of disposal capacity. Under this
leadership, we have successfully executed a differentiated growth strategy in a mature industry that, we believe, positions us for
continued strong growth. Our senior management team is backed by an impressive group of regional, area, district and general
managers who ensure that our goals are met on a day-to-day basis. Most managers have either been recruited from larger publicly
traded environmental service companies or have started as entrepreneurs in the sector, and bring significant industry experience
to our local operations.
Our Strategy
Capitalize on our Vertically Integrated Geographic Hubs. Across our markets, we have developed vertically integrated
geographic hubs typically consisting of collection companies, transfer stations, recycling facilities and landfills. The fundamental
objective of this business model is to control the waste stream from inception through disposal or beneficial re-use. This business
model provides stable cash flows by reducing volume risk, maintaining high margins at our landfills in each hub and reducing the
impact of competition within the local marketplace through increased density of operations. Our high internalization rate of 64%
demonstrates the success of this strategy.

Table of Contents
Each vertically integrated geographic hub is managed locally. Our focus on local execution enables our managers to pinpoint
strategic growth opportunities and integrate new contract opportunities into our existing network of transfer stations and landfills,
further increasing internalization and the profitability of our operations.
Generate Sustainable Long-Term Growth. We seek to achieve a sustainable rate of long-term profitable growth while
efficiently operating and maintaining our assets. Our key growth strategies include: (i) growing volumes organically by training
and employing a highly skilled sales force; (ii) pursuing municipal contracting opportunities; (iii) pursuing tuck-in collection
acquisitions that can be merged with existing routes and provide volumes that can be internalized into existing landfills;
(iv) leveraging our national waste brokerage platform to internalize waste; and (v) entering into volume swaps with other waste
businesses that allow us to minimize waste transportation costs without reducing the daily volume intake at transfer stations and
disposal sites.
In addition to growing the business organically in existing regions, we seek to grow by entering new markets where we can
either build new vertically integrated geographic hubs or compete effectively in disposal-neutral marketplaces. We also seek to
expand our service offerings in response to evolving customer needs. For example, our expansion into complementary business
areas such as waste brokerage, landfill gas-to-energy and recycling enables us to better serve our customers while maintaining
control of the waste stream.
Maintain Financial Discipline. We have a demonstrated history of strong financial performance and have achieved these
results through strong execution of our growth strategy, while maintaining focus on prudent cost management and pricing
discipline to drive profitability. This strategy is implemented by our district and area managers who continuously monitor their
local markets and target profit maximization rather than throughput alone.
Our management team employs a diversified financial management approach and will focus on deleveraging through a
combination of: (i) free cash flow from operations; (ii) asset swaps or accretive tuck-in acquisitions; and (iii) outright asset
sales. We are committed to maintaining financial discipline by maintaining stable pricing as well as careful management of
returns on equity and capital deployed.
Promote Operational Excellence Through Implementation of Best Practices. We have developed, and consistently
implemented, best practices throughout our organization. We seek to increase operating margins and cash flow and drive higher
returns on invested capital by implementing programs focused on areas such as sales productivity and pricing effectiveness,
driver productivity, maintenance efficiency and effective purchasing. In addition, we are focused on the safety and well-being of
the people impacted by our organization, along with controlling cost increases associated with our health and welfare programs.
We have an exemplary record of environmental compliance due to our stringent compliance programs centered on training, risk
management and auditing. We have implemented multiple training programs that have been internally developed across all of our
operations. In addition, we have partnered with loss control vendors to provide supplemental training and risk management
resources to our personnel.
Disciplined Acquisition Strategy. Since 2006, our management has successfully completed 87 acquisition and development
projects. In assessing potential acquisitions, development projects and municipal contracts, we seek to maximize growth
opportunities by leveraging our vertically integrated geographic hubs to create asset concentration in targeted regions and drive
higher margins. We also examine opportunities when government entities privatize the operation of all or part of their solid waste
systems. Our strategic flexibility maximizes the potential to continue to utilize selective acquisitions to enter attractive new
markets and drive margin expansion.
