During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we acquired seven solid waste businesses. Total consideration, net of cash acquired, for these acquisitions was $246 million. The businesses acquired provide collection, transfer and disposal services. As of March 31, 2018, the allocation of the purchase price for these acquisitions is preliminary; fair value estimates of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on management’s estimates, judgments and assumptions and are subject to change until finalized.
