Who We Are
History
Our Founding Story
Established in January 2015
Anchor Disposal LLC, a waste management company, offers Front Load, Roll-Off, and Residential Trash and Recycling services throughout North Carolina. Located in Clayton, the company is ideally positioned to serve Johnston County and the rapidly expanding surrounding counties.
We take pride in being an integral part of the community. Delivering outstanding service to our clients is our primary goal. Every day, we endeavor to create a significant impact within our cherished state.
Additionally, Anchor Disposal is consistently expanding its service area via strategic initiatives, which allows us to broaden our reach and provide our services to a growing number of communities across North Carolina.
For over ten years, Anchor Disposal has been acknowledged as an efficiently managed solid waste company with significant potential. At present, our business thrives under the leadership of the second generation, upholding the treasured family values that define us.
Prior to establishing our presence in North Carolina in 2015, we refined our waste management expertise under the mentorship of the founding generation, managing our family’s waste management business in Virginia for several years. As a result, our leadership team has a combined experience of over fifty years in the solid waste and recycling industry.
This extensive experience includes partnerships with communities, municipal authorities, and significant governmental contracts. The core team at Anchor is committed to a lifelong career in waste management.
It is with pride that we declare our business to be 100% Women-Owned!
Currently, we serve over 35,000 residential and 300 commercial customers, endeavoring to provide the highest quality service in the waste industry.
In the process of serving our customers, we gather, transport, and responsibly dispose of non-hazardous waste, utilizing local transfer stations and landfills to ensure safety and environmental integrity. Our recyclables are transported to local recycling facilities for sorting and diversion from landfills. Anchor Disposal is dedicated to environmentally friendly practices and participates actively in community initiatives designed to minimize landfill waste.
Our dedication is reflected in our equipment too. We take pride in a fleet of trucks that is among the most advanced and modern in the industry. Certified technicians rigorously maintain our equipment, upholding safety, cleanliness, and professionalism. Our drivers, skilled and committed, excel in providing exceptional waste services.
As an active participant in the National Waste and Recycling Association (NWRA), Solid Waste Association of North America (SWANA), U.S. Women’s Chamber of Commerce, Independent Waste Alliance (IWA), and various local Chambers of Commerce and business organizations, we are dedicated to achieving excellence in the industry and advancing the waste and recycling sector.
We take pride in being a woman-owned and operated business, aspiring to preserve this aspect for future generations. Our family is fortunate to live and grow in the communities we serve. We reinvest our tax dollars locally and aim to pass our passion for the waste industry to the next generation.
Our goal is to continually contribute positively to our community, upholding our family’s legacy.
