BUSINESS COMBINATIONS BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we acquired six businesses: five tuck-in solid waste collection businesses in our Western region and one recycling operation in our Resource Solutions segment. In the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we acquired eight businesses: three tuck-in solid waste collection businesses in our Eastern region, and in our Western region, three tuck-in solid waste collection businesses, a business comprised of solid waste collection, transfer and recycling operations, and a business comprised of solid waste hauling and transfer assets. The operating results of the acquired businesses are included in the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations from each date of acquisition, and the purchase price has been allocated to the net assets acquired based on fair values at each date of acquisition, with the residual amounts recorded as goodwill. Acquired intangible assets other than goodwill that are subject to amortization include client lists and non-compete covenants. Such assets are amortized over a five-year to ten-year period from the date of acquisition. All amounts recorded to goodwill, except goodwill related to certain acquisitions, are expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
A summary of the purchase price paid for these acquisitions and the allocation of the purchase price for these acquisitions follows:
