Recent Environmental Services Acquisitions in New Hampshire
Acquisition Volume in Environmental Services in New Hampshire by Year
Last 5 years
New Hampshire environmental services acquisitions show a recurring pattern of platform-building add-ons—expanding crews, capabilities, and regional coverage across New England. Recent transactions range from commercial landscaping and snow-removal growth to disaster restoration, stormwater and water-quality services, and septic/wastewater support.
Several buyers also target adjacent environmental and end-of-life waste streams. These include environmental consulting and engineering (e.g., Celnor Group acquiring John Turner Consulting) and recycling/IT asset disposition such as Elemental Holding Group acquiring Colt Recycling LLC and Tide Rock Holdings acquiring Full Circle Electronics.
Across 2025 back through 2017, deals are commonly framed as capability expansions—integrating in-place leadership teams, retaining employees through transition, and broadening service density across New Hampshire and nearby states.
