Acquisition
Acquisitions	8. Acquisitions During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we acquired seven businesses primarily related to our Solid Waste business. Total consideration for all acquisitions was $216 million, which included $202 million in cash paid and $14 million of other consideration, primarily purchase price holdbacks. In addition, we paid $5 million of holdbacks, primarily related to prior year acquisitions. Total consideration for our 2022 acquisitions was primarily allocated to $60 million of property and equipment, $51 million of other intangible assets and $102 million of goodwill. Other intangible assets included $34 million of customer relationships and $17 million of covenants not-to-compete. We remain in the measurement period for most of our acquisitions, therefore further adjustment to our preliminary purchase price allocation may occur. The goodwill was primarily a result of expected synergies from combining the acquired businesses with our existing operations and was tax deductible.

The entire disclosure for a business combination (or series of individually immaterial business combinations) completed during the period, including background, timing, and recognized assets and liabilities. The disclosure may include leverage buyout transactions (as applicable).
