Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]  
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS BUSINESS COMBINATIONSIn the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we acquired the following businesses: a residential, commercial and roll-off collection business in eastern Connecticut that operates a rail-served construction and demolition processing and waste transfer facility, a waste transfer station, a single-stream recycling facility, and several other recycling operations whose assets and liabilities are allocated between our Eastern region and Resource Solutions operating segments; a solid-waste collection business that operates a waste transfer station, a septic and portable toilet business, and a tuck-in solid-waste collection business in our Eastern region; and a waste composting and food-scrap hauling business, a solid-waste collection business that operates a waste transfer station, and two tuck-in solid-waste collection businesses in our Western region. In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we acquired six businesses: five tuck-in solid-waste collection businesses in our Western region and one recycling operation in our Resource Solutions operating segment. The operating results of the acquired businesses are included in the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations from each date of acquisition, and the purchase price has been allocated to the net assets acquired based on fair values at each date of acquisition, with the residual amounts recorded as goodwill. Acquired intangible assets other than goodwill that are subject to amortization include client lists, trade names, and non-compete covenants. Such assets are amortized over a four-year to ten-year period from the date of acquisition. All amounts recorded to goodwill, except goodwill related to certain acquisitions, are expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
A summary of the purchase price paid and the purchase price allocation for these acquisitions follows:

Certain purchase price allocations are preliminary and are based on information existing at the acquisition dates or upon closing the transaction. This includes purchase price allocations associated with the accounting for three acquisitions, acquired during the three months ended September 30, 2021, that have not yet been completed because we have not finalized the valuations of certain tangible and intangible assets, as well as the contingent consideration. Accordingly, these purchase price allocations are subject to change. Unaudited pro forma combined information that shows our operational results as though each acquisition completed since the beginning of the prior fiscal year had occurred as of January 1, 2020 is as follows:
