Dear Valued Customer:

 We are writing to inform you that, after careful consideration, Artistic Waste Services, Inc. made the decision to merge its assets and operations with Waste Management of Iowa, Inc.  The transaction is effective July 1, 2010.

 During more than 20 years in the garbage business, we have always been fully committed to providing you with the best service available.  Our merger with Waste Management will give our customers the opportunity to maintain this high level of service with a company dedicated to providing outstanding service and satisfaction to its customers. 

 Your service schedule and charges have not changed.  Any future changes will be communicated well in advance.

Both companies are working hard to ensure that this transition goes smoothly.  The Artistic Waste Services drivers have been hired by Waste Management and will continue to meet all of your service needs.  Robert and Anthony have been retained by Waste Management to provide support through the integration process.

In addition, Robert and Anthony will continue their business interest in Phoenix Construction and Demolition Recycling.

 If you have any questions or concerns, please call the Waste Management of Iowa office at 515.265.5267 or Artistic Waste at 515-262-4040.

 On behalf of everyone at Artistic Waste Services, we would like to sincerely thank you for your loyalty and patronage.  We are grateful to our customers and are confident that you will be completely satisfied with the services from Waste Management.
