Kinda depends on what Emerald paid for them  ::)
If you can't sell it on eBay, it may not even qualify as landfill.

Retired (mostly) from the industry after 33 years...but still putzing around with a consumer information website, and trying to sell obsolete owners manuals

Maybe they were looking to grab their dealer network and from looking at their websites they're both in Michigan (looks like about 30 miles per Mapquest) so they'll obviously look to consolidate to one and cut their overhead costs.

Some years ago GL purchased Almost Heaven ... They bought them for their line of saunas. Picked them up for almost nothing in bankruptcy court (pissed me off I didn't hear about it till after the fact).
