Ally Waste Acquires Waste Xperts, Accelerating Mission to Deliver the Most Comprehensive Waste Solutions in Multifamily

Yahoo19-05-2025
GILBERT, Ariz., May 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ally Waste, a leader in valet trash and multifamily waste services, is proud to announce the acquisition of Waste Xperts, a pioneering provider of hands-on, onsite waste management and recycling compliance services. The acquisition is effective immediately and represents a significant step forward in Ally Waste's goal to deliver the most comprehensive, community-focused waste solutions in the multifamily industry.
With a strong operational footprint in California, Texas, Washington, and Nevada, Waste Xperts has earned a reputation as the boots-on-the-ground partner that communities rely on. From container right-sizing and recycling compliance to odor control and bin staging, their team is known for managing waste from start to finish—before the hauler even arrives.
This acquisition expands Ally Waste's capabilities far beyond its current offerings. Communities working with Ally will now have access to services such as environmental auditing, chute room maintenance, air filtration, and crucial recycling compliance programs that meet regulations like California's SB 1383.
James Crawley, CEO of Ally Waste, said, "We've always believed that multifamily communities deserve a partner who understands the full picture of the onsite waste program. Waste Xperts brings an exceptional level of hands-on service and expertise that aligns perfectly with our values. Together, we're expanding what it means to be a true waste services partner, offering our customers a smarter, more complete way to manage their waste programs."
Waste Xperts customers will have access to Ally Waste's valet trash offerings and will see no changes to their current service, while expecting a smooth transition under the Ally Waste brand in the coming months. Meanwhile, Ally's existing customers will gain access to a broader toolbox of services designed to make waste management cleaner and easier to oversee.
"We built Waste Xperts to solve the real, everyday challenges of onsite waste at multifamily communities," said David Lentz, founder of Waste Xperts. "Ally Waste is the ideal partner to carry that mission forward at scale."
This acquisition reflects a shared belief between both companies: that communities deserve more than just collection—they deserve strategy, service, and a partner who shows up.

Solos is equipping its smart glasses with an AI for the blind and low-vision community

Solos is teaming up with Envision, a company that makes assistive technology for the blind and low-vision community, to add an AI called Ally to its AirGo smart glasses platform. This chatbot was designed for those with vision issues. The companies say this integration creates a "first-of-its-kind, hands-free, voice-activated wearable." Solos says the specs can perform a number of tasks that should make life easier for the low-vision community, including recognizing and reading text in real time, describing scenes, recognizing faces and more. Just by speaking, users can ask the glasses to scan documents or photos for context, answer questions, check calendars and converse naturally about just about anything. The companies say that Ally remembers context across conversations. Solos says that the innovative nature of the glasses should make them useful for lots of folks, low-vision or not. This includes the elderly, people with cognitive disabilities and "anyone overwhelmed by modern devices but curious about what AI can do." The Ally-equipped AirGo glasses support prescription lenses, which is great, and include a directional speaker system. These smart glasses also include a modular component, as users can swap out different frame fronts to change up the look. Preorders are open right now, with shipments beginning in October. Prices start at $399. All purchases come with a free trial for Ally Pro , which adds more customization and functionality to the AI.

'Intelligence Engine': Microsoft Stock (NASDAQ:MSFT) Notches Up on Sea Change

Tech giant Microsoft (MSFT) is going through a lot of change right now, and that change has been manifested in a range of ways. Mass layoffs, increasing return-to-office (RTO) mandates and more are part of the package at Microsoft these days. But behind it all is a greater move, as expressed by CEO Satya Nadella, as Microsoft goes from 'software manufacturer' to 'intelligence engine.' Call it what you will, but investors called it a decent idea, sending shares up fractionally in Monday afternoon's trading. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. Nadella is out to turn Microsoft into an ' intelligence engine,' looking to open up access to artificial intelligence and make it available to users the world over. A memo recently spotted noted, 'We must reimagine our mission for a new era. When Bill founded Microsoft, he envisioned not just a software company, but a software factory, unconstrained by any single product or category. That idea has guided us for decades. But today, it's no longer enough.' Thus, Microsoft is working to start selling shovels in a gold rush. Instead of trying to build AI apps, it is trying to build the platforms that let other people build AI apps according to their needs. This makes Microsoft less a 'software factory' and more an 'intelligence engine' in line with Nadella's goals. The implications are potentially staggering; if Microsoft can develop a means to allow people to build the AI applications they want, then Microsoft could have an edge over every other AI developer in the field. Ally Release Dates Leaked But Microsoft has more immediate concerns as well, as release date information broke cover on the ROG Xbox Ally and Ally X. Reports suggest that Microsoft and ASUS' (ASUUY) new portable handset gaming platforms will be available sometime in October 2025, with preorders potentially starting as early as next Wednesday with the Gamescom event. Microsoft previously noted that the release window was 'holiday 2025,' which could indeed include October. Pricing details may also come out during next week's Gamescom event, reports suggest, though Microsoft has not officially confirmed or denied any of this. Still, with the holiday shopping season quickly approaching—Halloween decorations are all over stores—we may see more information come out sooner rather than later. Is Microsoft a Buy, Hold or Sell? Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Strong Buy consensus rating on MSFT stock based on 34 Buys and one Hold assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below. After a 28.33% rally in its share price over the past year, the average MSFT price target of $623.34 per share implies 18.53% upside potential.

Ally commits over $150 million to workforce development initiatives to drive economic mobility

Grants and investments to support underserved communities in Charlotte, Detroit and beyond DETROIT, Aug. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ally Financial Inc. (NYSE: ALLY), home to the nation's largest all-digital bank, an industry-leading auto financing business and a highly respected corporate finance provider, today announced a more than $150 million commitment in 2025 to support workforce development, aimed at advancing economic mobility through education, career opportunities and job creation across its charitable and community development activities. "We recognize the future of work is evolving faster than ever, and the skills needed to succeed are rapidly changing, too. Through this giving, we are helping organizations open doors to new and expanded career opportunities that will remove barriers to sustainable employment," said Kathie Patterson, chair of the Ally Charitable Foundation and chief human resources and corporate citizenship officer at Ally. "Job stability is an important element that leads to financial security and, in turn, drives economic mobility. We're proud to help these great organizations in supporting our communities." Ally Bank's Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) efforts in 2025 will originate more than $147 million in loans and investments that support workforce development, including job creation and retention. These activities include loans to financial intermediaries and equity investments in projects to help spur job creation in the United States that primarily benefit low- and moderate-income communities. Many of these projects span outside Ally's hometowns and into areas such as Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon, Washington and Wyoming. In addition, through the Ally Charitable Foundation, more than $1.6 million in grants has been awarded to 57 nonprofit organizations in Ally's hometowns of Charlotte and Detroit to support workforce development initiatives. Nearly $1 million will go to 27 Detroit-based organizations and $700,000 will support 30 Charlotte-based organizations. Some of the nonprofit organizations receiving workforce development grants include: Cakeable Charlotte – vocational training for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities George Washington Carver Food Research Institute's Future Food Professionals: Agriculture STEAM Academy – dedicated to advancing education and innovation in the agricultural and food sciences sectors Boys and Girls Club of Southeast Michigan - programs focused on preparing youth for careers, entrepreneurship and homeownership Detroit Economic Growth Association's Small Business Loan Portal - loan matching platform to connect Detroit-based businesses with small business capital The Yunion – serves Detroit youth from underrepresented communities to provide education, employment and leadership development opportunities "We are deeply grateful to the Ally Charitable Foundation for their generous support and thanks to their investment, interns like Robert, who recently landed a job at Chicken Salad Chick, are gaining the skills, confidence and real-world experience needed to succeed," said Ken Norton, executive director of Cakeable. "This funding is helping us build a workforce where individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities can find and participate in meaningful work." Ally Charitable Foundation's total grantmaking in 2025 is nearly $3 million to support 113 nonprofits across Ally's hometowns of Charlotte and Detroit. Ally's philanthropic giving strategy supports economic mobility by focusing on affordable housing, financial education and workforce development. "We've seen an immense need for support from our communities, with a 113% increase in grant requests since 2022," said Mike Rizer, president of the Ally Charitable Foundation. "We're fortunate that our Ally teammates are just as committed to the communities where we live, work and serve, allowing Ally to provide wraparound support to our nonprofit partners through technical assistance, mentoring and employee volunteerism and giving, which more than doubles the national average." These initiatives complement Ally's support of programs focused on workforce development like Saturdays in the D. Through Ally's sponsorship of Saturdays in the D, the City of Detroit in partnership with the University of Michigan Center for Innovation in Detroit offers a range of educational and professional development opportunities for residents. These include enrichment activities for youth and workforce-focused workshops and certificate programs for adults, emphasizing skill-building, career advancement and college readiness. In Charlotte, Ally has served on the Tech Rising collaborative, led by AvidXchange, since its inception in 2020. Tech Rising brings together corporations, nonprofits, local government and academic institutions to bridge the digital divide in the Charlotte area. As part of the annual Tech Rising Summit, Ally has also contributed to the Tech Rising "Tech Idea Incubator Fund," which provides grants to local nonprofits to seed innovative ideas that promote digital equity in the community. Ally's CRA EffortsIn addition to investing in several Small Business Investment Companies (SBIC), Ally invests in partnerships that enable and support the next generation of workers. These programs include the University Growth Fund, a hands-on student-led venture fund at the University of Utah, and the Small Business Investing Scholars Program, a student internship program hosted by Avante Capital Partners. Ally also collaborates with partners to focus not only on the number of jobs created but also the quality of those jobs, using frameworks like the HCAP Gainful Jobs Approach™. There is also a particular emphasis on investing in partners that create quality jobs for low- to moderate-income individuals and communities. These CRA initiatives complement Ally's long-standing relationships with organizations focused on workforce preparedness, like The Other Side Academy (TOSA), which Ally has supported for nearly a decade and awarded nearly $1.5 million in grants. TOSA is a Utah-based nonprofit providing a free two-year residential and educational program to formerly incarcerated individuals. The goal is to help these individuals lead successful, productive lives, free from crime and addiction. Students learn valuable job and leadership skills by working at one of TOSA's social enterprises, including an award-winning moving company, a chain of thrift stores, and food trucks. Last year, Ally committed $1.4 million to TOSA's sister program, The Other Side Village, to fund the construction of a community center that will house an onsite medical and mental health clinic. This facility will play a crucial role in providing consistent access to mental health care, support, and advocacy for Village residents, complementing TOSA's holistic support and reducing barriers to economic mobility.
