Avalon Holdings Corporation
Avalon Holdings Corp. is a U.S.-based operating company with two very different businesses: waste management services and golf and related operations. In waste management, it acts as a broker and manager of disposal and transportation solutions rather than owning landfills or running collection fleets, which makes its model asset-light and relationship-driven. Its other business operates the Avalon Golf and Country Club and The Grand Resort, where revenue comes from memberships, guest stays, and related hospitality spending. The company also has a captive landfill management activity and saltwater disposal well operations within its waste segment, giving it a mix of recurring service revenue and more project- or customer-dependent income streams.
