Meridian Waste Missouri, LLC, a subsidiary of Meridian Waste Acquisitions, LLC, has stepped up to support the citizens of Elsberry in the aftermath of a devastating flood that struck the area over the weekend.听The unprecedented rainfall caused flash flooding that inundated homes, overwhelmed drainage systems, and displaced numerous families in this small Lincoln County city. As the community rallies together to begin recovery efforts, Meridian Waste Missouri is providing critical support to aid in cleanup and rebuilding.
Meridian Waste has donated more than $2,000 in essential supplies, including contractor-grade trash bags, disinfectant wipes and all-purpose cleaners, diapers and baby wipes, soap, and paper towels to help residents begin the challenging task of cleaning their homes and neighborhoods. 鈥淚n times like these, we don鈥檛 just serve a community 鈥� we are part of it,鈥� said Gregg Asciutto, Area President of Meridian Waste Missouri. 鈥淥ur team members live and work in the region, and we wanted to ensure our neighbors had access to the tools they need to begin putting their lives back together.鈥�
Understanding that the cleanup effort will require more than supplies, Meridian Waste is also offering discounted rental rates for roll-off dumpsters including hauling and disposal services to residents, contractors, and businesses impacted by the flood. The dumpsters are essential for the removal of storm-damaged furniture, building materials, and household debris.听
The flood, which began late Saturday night and into early Sunday morning, left many parts of Elsberry underwater, damaging infrastructure and leaving a trail of debris. Emergency responders and residents have worked tirelessly to clear roadways and begin recovery operations.
鈥淢eridian Waste is in the business of creating cleaner and healthier environments, and that mission is especially important in the wake of a disaster,鈥� said Barbie Russo, Government & Community Affairs Manager of Meridian Waste Missouri. 鈥淲e鈥檙e committed to helping Elsberry families recover and rebuild 鈥� not just as a service provider, but as a partner in this community.鈥�
