Walker Industries Acquires Biogas Facilities from Miller Waste Systems, Strengthening its Renewable Energy Portfolio
Niagara Region, Ontario (March 24, 2026) – Walker Industries Holdings Ltd. (Walker), and Miller Waste Systems (Miller Waste) are pleased to announce the successful sale of Miller Waste Systems’ Escarpment Renewables and Maryland Farms organic waste-to-energy facilities and pre-processing assets to Walker.
This marks a significant milestone for both Walker and Miller Waste following a decades-long relationship and builds on the strong legacies of both as industry leaders in sustainable waste management solutions. Ontario is a leader in finding ways to create energy from household and municipal waste which helps power homes and bring a renewable energy source to communities.
This acquisition reinforces Walker’s commitment to leadership in recovering organic resources and to advancing production of renewable energy. The new assets are a strong strategic fit within the Walker portfolio, expanding its current capabilities into anaerobic digestion. Walker is a leader in offering sustainable fertilizer and soil amendment solutions and will now also offer nutrient-rich digestate to the agricultural sector. By integrating these capabilities, Walker is expanding its position in delivering sustainable solutions and creating greater long-term value for customers and communities.
“Walker and Miller have shared common values for decades, with a strong commitment to doing the right thing for our people, our communities, and the environment” said Geordie Walker, President and CEO of Walker. “This acquisition represents an important milestone for Walker as we expand into a new channel of organics managements and renewable energy production. I am excited to strengthen our ability to deliver sustainable waste management solutions that benefit our customers, support our communities, and help advance a circular economy.”
This acquisition includes facilities in Grimsby and Maryland and assets in Pickering, which were previously operated by Miller Waste. For Miller Waste Systems, this transaction reflects a disciplined strategic decision to ensure these specialized organics and renewable energy assets are positioned for long-term growth and continued operational excellence. As a proudly Canadian, family-owned company, Miller remains deeply committed to integrated waste management, resource recovery, and diversion across the communities it serves.

This transaction allows Miller to focus on its core lines of business while ensuring these specific facilities continue to thrive under the experienced stewardship of Walker. We have valued our long-standing relationship, built on mutual respect and shared values, with Walker over many years” said Joe Johnson, President, Miller Waste Systems. “With Walker, we are confident these assets are well-positioned for continued and sustainable success for employees, customers, communities and the environment”.
