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

When Donald Trump calls, one Big Law firm answers
Robert Giuffra, the head of Sullivan & Cromwell, recently began representing Donald Trump. Giuffra's role in the Trump administration's deal with another Big Law firm blurred the lines between personal and government business. Giuffra found his firm under attack after the deal went through. Robert Giuffra, the head of one of the country's most powerful law firms, was headed to the gym when he got an unexpected phone call. When Giuffra picked up, the president of the United States was on the other end. Donald Trump was in an Oval Office meeting with Paul Weiss chairman Brad Karp, whom Giuffra considered a personal friend. Five days earlier, Trump issued an executive order that would have stripped security clearances from Paul Weiss lawyers and limited their access to government property. As Karp later described, the deal "could easily have destroyed" the firm. In that March 19 Oval Office meeting, Karp wanted a way out, according to five people familiar with the meeting. Could Giuffra — Trump's personal lawyer — help? Privately, Giuffra had expressed concerns about the order, seemingly worried about its implications for the legal industry, according to two people. Over the next day, Giuffra helped hash out an agreement between Trump and Paul Weiss: the law firm pledged tens of millions in pro bono work toward Trump's political priorities, and Trump rolled back the executive order. The phone call drew Giuffra deeper into an ethical drama familiar to many Trump lawyers: the blurring of lines between government work, the president's priorities, and the law itself. This time, the stakes are higher. Giuffra isn't an outsider lawyer plucked from obscurity like Alina Habba or a longtime political ally like Rudy Giuliani. He leads one of the most powerful law firms in America. As the chair of Sullivan & Cromwell, Giuffra is a titan of the legal industry. The 146-year-old firm made $2 billion in revenue last year, and its highly paid lawyers have represented the likes of OpenAI in its partnership with Microsoft and Discover in its merger with CapitalOne, and participated in the thorny bankruptcy of FTX. Giuffra, with no official role in the White House, was weighing in on how the president of the United States used the powers of his office to subjugate a rival law firm. The Giuffra-negotiated deal between Trump and Karp to roll back the March 14 executive order stunned and divided the legal profession. It also became a template. Following Paul Weiss, eight firms agreed to deals with the president, collectively pledging over $900 million in free work to advance his policies. The deals have introduced myriad logistical and ethical legal issues; it's not even clear if they're legal, and no one has publicly said how their terms are supposed to be enforced. Four other firms, all targeted by executive orders, chose to fight and won court rulings blocking the president's decrees. Sullivan & Cromwell has been spared either fate, thanks in part to Giuffra's deft hand. Shortly after Trump's second inauguration, Giuffra announced that the firm would represent the president in two appeals: a Manhattan criminal conviction and a half-billion dollar judgment over falsified tax and bank loan documents from the Trump Organization. At the same time, Giuffra has helped Trump collapse the distinction between the presidency and personal matters. During the negotiations with Paul Weiss, Giuffra didn't appear to draw any distinction between his role as Trump's personal lawyer and as someone who was weighing in on how Trump would use his presidential powers, one person familiar with the negotiations told Business Insider. Shortly after Trump issued the executive order, Karp brought on Bill Burck, one of the leaders at the firm Quinn Emanuel, to represent Paul Weiss in suing the administration. Burck engaged with people working in the White House, including the White House Counsel's office, to determine whether they could reach a resolution, a person familiar with the discussions said. But Giuffra — along with Trump's personal senior counsel, Boris Epshteyn — took over the negotiations several days later, without any apparent involvement from White House lawyers, according to the person. Giuffra acted as an intermediary between Epshteyn and Burck in the discussions, two people said. A spokesperson for Sullivan & Cromwell said Giuffra served as a go-between, helping "the Administration and Paul Weiss reach a mutually acceptable resolution." A spokesperson for Paul Weiss declined to comment on the record. The White House referred questions to Epshteyn, who declined to comment for this story. The blurred lines raise "very severe issues of ethics and professional responsibility," according to Harold Koh, a law professor who served as the top State Department lawyer in the Obama administration. Epshteyn and Giuffra played a role in how Trump should use his government powers. But as Trump's personal lawyers, rather than government employees, it's not clear if they're acting on behalf of the people of the United States, or on behalf of Trump's personal interests, Koh said. "Government lawyers should do the government's business and personal lawyers should deal with personal matters," Koh added. "And the fact that we can't tell whether these lawyers are operating in official or personal capacity shows why they're so problematic." Despite Giuffra's hope that the deal would ultimately help his industry, it created public friction between two of its most powerful figures. Karp and Sullivan & Cromwell have each been telling slightly different stories about how the deal came to be. The firms can't even agree on when Giuffra became involved, itself a sign of how blurred the lines had become between Trump's personal and official business. In Sullivan & Cromwell's telling, Paul Weiss — rather than Trump — initiated Giuffra's involvement. Giuffra's involvement was a personal favor for a peer firm, not part of his representation of Trump. According to a letter Sullivan & Cromwell partner Sharon Nelles sent to Congress, Giuffra contacted people within the Trump administration after he "received an outreach on behalf of" Paul Weiss on March 15, a day after the executive order, to help reach a deal. Karp, meanwhile, has said he was unaware of Giuffra's involvement until March 19. On that day, Karp met with Trump in the Oval Office, and Trump dialed Giuffra into the meeting, according to three people familiar with the negotiations. Trump announced the deal on March 20 and rescinded the executive order the next day. Giuffra had believed he was offering Karp and Paul Weiss a boon, according to one of the people familiar with the deal. Instead of being treated as a peacemaker, Giuffra found Sullivan & Cromwell under attack. He was hurt by the publication of a story in the New York Times, published several days after the deal, reporting that Karp felt pressured to make a deal because rival firms — including Giuffra's — were trying to snap up its partners and clients. Giuffra fumed that Paul Weiss insiders had thrown his and other firms under the bus to try to justify their deal. In a letter to Congress, a Sullivan & Cromwell partner said many lawyers at the two firms were "law school classmates, neighbors, former partners and longtime friends and colleagues" and denied the firm had tried to "poach" anyone from Paul Weiss. In a March 23 letter to employees explaining the deal, Karp said he was dismayed that other law firms had not rallied to Paul Weiss's side. Instead, he wrote, "certain other firms were seeking to exploit our vulnerabilities by aggressively soliciting our clients and recruiting our attorneys." In his second term, Trump has demonstrated his confidence in Sullivan & Cromwell, and there's no doubt the firm has benefitted. In the same Truth Social post where he designated several of his personal lawyers to high-ranking Justice Department positions, he also named Sullivan & Cromwell lawyer Jay Clayton to lead the US Attorney's office for the Southern District of New York. And in May, Giuffra filed papers to represent the president, Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and the Trump Organization itself in the civil fraud case. Still, Giuffra and his firm are engaged in a delicate dance. Trump has churned through a number of lawyers over the years. More than a dozen, after acting on Trump's behalf, have been disbarred or sanctioned. Even more have been bench-slapped by judges in hearings and trials. Trump's second term is already claiming casualties. Eric Trump fired Burck from his role as an outside ethics counsel for the Trump Organization in April after the lawyer agreed to represent Harvard University, which Trump has also targeted with executive orders. Giuffra isn't staking just his own reputation on working for Trump. Since Trump became involved in politics, elite law firms have typically shunned him. Todd Blanche, his lead lawyer in most of his criminal cases, quit Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft to represent Trump after the firm's leadership disapproved of taking him on as a client. In embracing Trump, Sullivan & Cromwell, with its 900 attorneys and high-profile client list, is marking a different path for Big Law. Read the original article on Business Insider

LGBTQ+ Marketing Playbook: How Pride Drives Growth Amid DEI Backlash
Pride Month, LGBTQA Ally branded packaging for Oreo Cookies, Walgreens, Queens, New York. (Photo by: ... More Lindsey Nicholson/UCG/Universal Images Group via Getty Images) June 1 came and went without the usual cascade of rainbow logos. Meta, Pepsi, and Ubisoft — brands that embraced LGBTQ+ marketing with Pride colors just two years ago — stayed monochrome, betting that neutrality equals safety. For a decade, we criticized these brands for 'rainbow washing,' accusing them of performative LGBTQ+ marketing that appeared in June only to vanish in July. Now they've vanished in June too. In today's polarized climate, there is no neutral ground - it's Pride or Prejudice. Silence is a stance, and LGBTQ+ consumers are taking notes. They'll remember who stood with them when it got tough and who looked out for themselves. When these brands inevitably return waving rainbow flags, that $1.4 trillion market won't be as forgiving. The stakes are clear: 9.3% of U.S. adults identify as LGBTQ+, wielding buying power that grows three times faster than the general market. Among Gen Z, that number soars to nearly 25% - your future customer base is fundamentally more diverse than ever before. Yet 39% of Fortune 1000 executives plan to reduce Pride visibility this year, colliding with research showing 80% of LGBTQ+ adults ready to boycott brands that retreat. This isn't just American - multinational brands face the same reckoning globally, where LGBTQ+ consumers demand year-round authenticity over seasonal gestures. For CMOs who recognize that authentic engagement beats fearful silence, here are five strategic directives to navigate Pride when the stakes have never been higher. Your biggest risk isn't backlash - it's misalignment between what you say and what you do. The credibility gap kills brands faster than controversy. Use the Tightrope Table below to assess your alignment across five executive pressure points:c The LGBTQ+ Tightrope Framework: Five Balance Points Every CMO Must Align Before Pride Goes Live This is the Growth × Good equation, where authentic inclusion drives both revenue and reputation. The LGBTQ+ market demonstrates 2.3x higher brand loyalty when authentically engaged but punishes retreat equally, as Bud Light discovered when it shed 6.5% market share and over $1 billion in equity value. Here's what your competitors miss: Employee engagement and talent retention also hinge on authentic LGBTQ+ support. Companies with inclusive policies see 20% lower turnover rates and attract top-tier talent who increasingly evaluate employers on DEI commitments. When you factor in both consumer loyalty and workforce stability, the ROI calculation becomes undeniable. When 39% of brands retreat, those who stay capture disproportionate returns. It's portfolio theory: as the field narrows, authentic players gain an outsized share in a community starved for genuine support. For the sixth year running, SKITTLES®, the Mars Wrigley candy, stripped its own rainbow, partnered with GLAAD, and doubled its donation cap to $200,000 - all without a measurable sales dip. OREO adds a family‑friendly blueprint. Through its ongoing #ProudParent partnership with PFLAG National (launched 2020), the country's best‑selling cookie releases limited‑edition rainbow packs, produces ally‑focused shorts like 'Proud Parent,' and contributes at least $ 50,000 a year to PFLAG's allyship programs - all while maintaining category‑leading sales. The brand frames inclusion around family support, sidestepping partisan turf yet still generating high social engagement. Both brands prove sustained commitments outperform seasonal splash, contrasting with Target's slimmed-down 2025 Pride capsule that drew boycott calls on TikTok before reaching shelves. Two lessons follow: LGBTQ+ adults spend 48% more daily time with podcasts than the general market. On social platforms, micro-influencers under 10,000 followers drive 2.1% engagement rates - double that of macro creators. Pre-emptive retreat doesn't buy peace. Des Moines' Capital City Pride lost $75,000 when sponsors paused DEI budgets. Major events nationwide face similar exits, citing "political sensitivity." Meanwhile, activist groups like People's Union USA now publish boycott schedules year-round, proving that organized consumer pressure operates year-round with scheduling precision CMOs can literally mark on their calendars. Your crisis response requires three elements: These metrics separate authentic allies from seasonal performers. With audits complete, crisis plans locked, and proof points funded, you've turned Pride from minefield to growth driver. The rainbow calendar spans 30 days, but consumer memory lasts all year. ROI Reality — A $1.4 trillion market growing three times faster than the general population: 24 million U.S. consumers with the highest loyalty scores when authentically engaged. Risk Reality — 80% boycott‑ready consumers + 39% of brands retreating = a perfect storm. Pull back under pressure and join the companies taking an immediate revenue hit. Monday‑Morning Reality — Audit today or apologize on tomorrow's earnings call. Approve the fixes, lock the crisis tree, and shift 20 % of Pride spend from paint to proof. The LGBTQ+ market is larger, louder, and more digitally concentrated than ever, but its patience for performative allyship is gone. Treat Pride as a 12‑month strategy, deliver CARES outcomes, and capture the upside—while sleeping at night. Ignore the audit and the social‑threat spiral will hit faster than your next quarterly call. Ask yourself: When June's budget zeroes out, what's left of your LGBTQ+ marketing commitment - and will that investment still be visible come December?

Ally Bank Says These 5 TikTok Money Trends Actually Work
TikTok is packed with personal finance advice, but not all of it holds up. However, according to Jack Howard, head of money wellness at Ally Bank, some of the platform's most viral money trends actually work and can help build better financial habits when used with intention. Discover More: For You: Here are five TikTok money trends worth considering. Loud budgeting, a trend introduced by Gen Z, encourages people to stop spending on things that don't matter and be upfront about what they can afford. Howard said the trend helps reduce stigma around money and creates accountability by making you stick to your values. For example, if you're asked to go on an expensive trip, Howard said to consider saying, 'Sorry, I would so love to join, but that's just not in my budget right now.' 'It might feel daunting to be so forthright about something as personal as your finances,' she added. 'But this trend can help reduce financial anxiety and introduce much-needed 'conscious spending' to younger generations.' Howard said once you get used to loud budgeting, it will be easy to cut back on things that aren't important and to spend without guilt on the ones that are. Consider This: If you tend to make quick purchases, the 48-Hour Rule can help you slow down. Howard said this trend has become part of broader conversations about financial mindfulness, especially for people who struggle with impulse buying. The idea is to wait two full days before making any non-essential purchase. She said she recommends the 48-hour rule and uses it herself because it forces you to slow down and calm your emotions, rather than give in to a perceived sense of urgency. And, yes, she also pointed out that you should use this rule even when an item is on sale. The screenshot wishlist is another trend that encourages mindful spending. Instead of buying something right away, Howard said to take a screenshot of the item and come back to it later. That short pause can help you decide if the purchase is really worth it. Ally's recent Minds on Money report, cited by Howard, found that nearly a third of Gen Z buys items seen on social media immediately or the same day, and about seven in 10 make a purchase within a week. 'Resisting the dopamine rush that is experienced when adding items to your cart can be difficult,' Howard said. 'But this trend offers a helpful guardrail so you can slow down or even avoid purchasing something you may not need.' She also recommends pairing it with the 48-Hour Rule to build better spending habits over time. 'Girl math' is a trend where people use creative reasoning to justify spending, like counting returns as money earned or dividing big purchases into cost-per-use, Howard explained. She said it can help reduce buyer's remorse in the moment, but warned that the logic can backfire if you're not intentional. 'I found the #girlmath skits, memes and TikTok stories to be entertaining and even relatable at times,' she said. 'But this is one of those trends that can start to spiral out of control if you're not careful.' She explained that it's still important to pause and think about whether the item will truly bring happiness or align with your values. To stay on track, she suggested putting a spending cap on girl math purchases — maybe $20 or $50 — so there's still room for small joys like a matcha latte or sweet treat without putting your budget at risk. Howard explained that no-buy/no-spend challenges ask you to stick to essentials for a set period, such as a week or a month, and skip everything else, which could mean no new clothes, no food delivery and no unnecessary purchases. The benefit of these challenges, she said, is like a financial reset, helping people break habits and boost savings. 'I am a big fan of this challenge, because it forces you to be very intentional and practice conscious spending on a daily basis,' she said. She added that making this challenge a group effort can increase motivation and make saving feel more like a game than a chore.
