BUSINESS COMBINATIONS BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
In fiscal year 2020, we acquired ten businesses: seven tuck-in solid waste collection businesses and a solid waste collection business in our Western region, a transportation business in our Eastern region, and one recycling operation in our Resource Solutions operating segment. In fiscal year 2019, we acquired nine businesses: three tuck-in solid waste collection businesses in our Eastern region, four tuck-in solid waste collection businesses, a business comprised of solid waste collection, transfer and recycling operations, and a business comprised of solid waste hauling and transfer assets in our Western region. In fiscal year 2018 we acquired nine businesses: six solid waste collection businesses and one transfer business in our Western region; and two businesses comprised of solid waste collection and transfer operations in our Eastern region.
The operating results of these businesses are included in the accompanying audited 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 and non-compete covenants. These are amortized over a five to ten-year period from the date of acquisition. All amounts recorded to goodwill in fiscal years 2020 and 2019, except goodwill related to certain acquisitions are expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
The purchase price paid for these acquisitions and the allocation of the purchase price is as follows:
