Acquisitions and Divestitures
Acquisitions and Divestitures	9. Acquisitions and Divestitures Acquisitions During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we acquired 21 solid waste businesses. Total consideration, net of cash acquired, for these acquisitions was $350 million, which included $329 million in cash paid and $21 million of other consideration, primarily purchase price holdbacks. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we also paid $13 million of purchase price holdbacks, of which $7 million related to current year acquisitions. The businesses acquired provide collection, transfer and disposal services. As of September 30, 2018, the allocation of the purchase price for these acquisitions is preliminary; fair value estimates of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on management’s estimates, judgments and assumptions and are subject to change until finalized.
