Carlyle Group Sewer Sludge Business May Increase Health Risks to Communities
Global buyout firm the Carlyle Group owns Synagro Technologies, a company that processes and distributes municipal
waste products, including human waste, chemical run-off, and manufacturing waste. Residents living near sites where
sewer sludge has been applied have reported significant health problems they associate with the sludge application.
By taking Synagro private in a leveraged buyout, Carlyle can evade requirements that Synagro provide to certain
information to the public.
Carlyle should provide information about the toxins associated with its sewer sludge business which may increase the
health risks to people in neighborhoods where the business operates.
