DALLAS, Jan. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — CheckSammy, the world’s largest bulk waste and sustainability operator, today announced a $45 million strategic investment that will enhance the company’s ability to deliver transparent, measurable waste diversion and carbon reduction benefits to companies.

The growth equity round is led by I Squared Capital, with Zero Infinity Partners participating.
