COMPETITIVE IMPACT STATEMENT
The United States, pursuant to Section 2(b) of the Antitrust Procedures and Penalties Act
("APPA"), 15 U.S.C. § 16(b)-(h), files this Competitive Impact Statement relating to the proposed
Final Judgment submitted for entry in this civil antitrust proceeding.
I.
NATURE AND PURPOSE OF THE PROCEEDING
The United States filed a civil antitrust Complaint on June 21, 2000, seeking to enjoin an
exchange of certain waste-hauling and disposal assets by Allied Waste Industries, Inc. ("Allied")
Republic Services, Inc. ("Republic"). Allied and Republic had entered into purchase agreements
pursuant to which the companies would exchange assets in a number of market areas in the United
States. The Complaint alleges that the likely effects of these asset exchanges would be to
substantially lessen competition for waste collection and disposal services in several markets in
violation of Section 7 of the Clayton Act. This loss of competition would result in consumers
higher prices and receiving fewer services for the collection and disposal of waste.
At the same time the Complaint was filed, the United States also filed a Hold Separate
