Our office represents Southern Waste Systems, LLC regarding the transfer of a franchise license in
the City of Miami.
In January, 2003, Southern Waste Systems entered into a License Purchase and Sale Agreement with
Atlas Waste Corporation to purchase a license owned by Atlas Waste Corporation to perform
commercial waste services in the City of Miami. The balance of the assets, other than the license,
SvaC cold b,%,- Atlas Waste Corporation to ``&C Wac*P Removal, Inc..
Southern Waste Systems has complied with all requirements and qualifications of the City of Miami
for commercial waste services. The Department. of Solid Waste, however, refuses to recognize the
sale and assignment of the license from Atlas to Southem Waste on the theory that once Atlas sold
assets to C&C Waste Removal, the license Atlas then sold to Southern Waste was no longer in
effect. We find no City Ordinance, Statue or case law to support this theory. A license is an asset
and licenses are bought and sold in the City of Miami and State of Florida on a regular basis.
We respectfully request to be placed on the next available City of Miami Commission Agenda for
the purpose of petitioning the Commission to recognize and approve the Sale and.Assignment of the
