ABOUT US – The Waste Company
A Local, Family-Built Company with a Big Mission for Edmonton
The Waste Company didn’t begin with a business loan, a fleet of trucks, or a corporate office. It began in 2012 with a simple goal: earn a little extra income while helping people and do it the right way.
What started as a small father-daughter dog-waste pickup service soon evolved into something much bigger. Today, The Waste Company Ltd. is one of Edmonton’s most trusted, community-focused junk removal and waste collection services, proudly built on honesty, respect, and a commitment to keep as much as possible out of the landfill.
♻️ Our Philosophy
“Donate – Reuse – Before It’s Refuse”
Long before sustainability became a trend, The Waste Company was built on a simple belief: most “junk” isn’t junk at all — it just needs a second life. Our approach is different than most waste removal companies:
Donate first
Items like clothing, strollers, household goods, and books are donated to local organizations such as the Bissell Centre, supporting families & individuals in need
Reuse & repurpose
Materials like wood, scrap metal and e-waste are salvaged so they can be repurposed and salvaged instead of discarded.
Landfill last
We take a little extra time while loading sorting while we load every job to ensure disposal is the final option, not the first. It makes a difference
This philosophy continues to guide every service we provide ,whether we’re clearing a garage, helping a senior downsize, or assisting a family during a difficult transition
The Founder’s Story: How It All Started
In the spring of 2012, armed with a Dodge Dakota and a scoop, my daughter and I launched a dog-waste removal service. It was surprisingly profitable but, “after a few seasons, it became a very… crappy job.”
So in 2014, I took a leap into junk removal with the same Dodge Dakota and a homemade 5th-wheel trailer. The very first junk removal job was helping a senior clean her basement that single act of service sparked what The Waste Company would become.
By 2015, I officially registered the business and reinvested every dollar into better equipment. First a full-size Dodge Ram 1500, then a 16-foot gooseneck trailer that became the true game-changer. Work poured in from homeowners, property managers, and contractors who appreciated his friendly service, fair pricing, and honesty.
From day one, I refused to overcharge just because he could a value still embedded in the company today. My genuine care for customers quickly earned The Waste Company a flawless reputation, with 100% 5-Star Google Reviews — and not a single negative rating.
