Our shared belief

Everyone here shares a belief: the future of this industry is smarter, more sustainable, and built on transparency. From leadership to frontline support, the team is relentless about creating better outcomes for customers, haulers, and the planet.

Our Values

Be Customer Obsessed

We put customers at the center of everything we do, delivering an unmatched experience at every touchpoint in their journey. Our goal isn’t just to meet expectations—but to exceed them by 10x. Every decision we make is driven by their needs, challenges, and success.

Unfiltered Truth and Transparency

We speak candidly, without fluff, even when our opinions are controversial or uncomfortable. Honest, direct communication fosters trust and better decisions. We encourage healthy disagreement and debate, but once a decision is made, we commit fully and execute with alignment.

Start With Why

We understand before we act, breaking problems down to first principles and assessing their impact. As lifelong learners and educators, we challenge assumptions, think critically, take risks, and make informed choices that drive meaningful outcomes—consistently.

Have a Bias for Action

We have a maniacal sense of urgency. We take initiative, move fast, and make decisions with confidence. We don’t let uncertainty or fear of imperfection slow us down—we focus on what needs to be done well now and what can be improved later. We learn from both successes and failures, iterate continuously, and have a deep aversion to unnecessary complexity.

Decide with Data

We leverage data and metrics to generate insights and guide our strategies. What gets measured gets improved — data informs our actions, helping us move with confidence and continuously optimize for better outcomes.

We’re always looking for driven, talented people to join our team and help us shape the future of waste and recycling. Explore open roles and discover how you can make an impact with us.
