History
Our Founding Story
Established in January 2015
Anchor Disposal LLC, a family-operated waste management business, offers residential garbage and recycling collection services throughout North Carolina. Situated in Clayton, the company is strategically positioned to cater to Johnston County, an area experiencing swift growth within the state. Its close proximity to Wake County, the most densely populated county in the state, as well as the developing regions surrounding Raleigh, the state capital, provides it with a favorable opportunity for expansion.
Our strategic location is crucial for maintaining and expanding our customer base. In the past nine years at this site, Anchor Disposal has established itself as a well-managed solid waste company with boundless potential. Moreover, Anchor Disposal is continually increasing its visibility through effective marketing strategies.
This enables us to extend our reach and offer our services to an increasing number of communities throughout North Carolina. Anchor has been committed to marketing, budgeting, and reinvesting in our business, which has contributed to our current success.
Originating in the 1970s, our family business is thriving today under the stewardship of the second generation, upholding the family tradition. We are proud to be a fixture in the Johnston and Wake County regions. Delivering exceptional service to our customers is our foremost objective. We strive daily to make an impact in our section of this magnificent state.
Collectively, our management team possesses over a century of direct experience in the solid waste and recycling sector. Before settling in North Carolina, our family managed a waste company in Virginia valued at $35 million.
Similarly, we operated a transfer station, multiple office sites, and served over 150,000 residential and commercial clients weekly. Our extensive experience includes partnerships with communities, local governments, and significant government contracts. The Anchor core team has devoted their entire careers to the field of waste management.
We are thrilled to continue the growth of Anchor Disposal within the picturesque state of North Carolina. It is with pride that we declare our business to be 100% Women-Owned! Currently, we cater to over 25,000 residential waste customers each week, striving to deliver the highest quality service available 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. Recyclables are sent to Sonoco for sorting and redirection away from landfills. Anchor Disposal is committed to eco-friendly practices and actively engages in community programs aimed at reducing landfill waste.
Our commitment extends to our equipment as well. We boast a fleet of trucks that ranks among the most sophisticated and contemporary in the sector.
Our certified technicians meticulously maintain our equipment to ensure safety, cleanliness, and professionalism. Our drivers are expertly trained and dedicated to delivering outstanding 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, North Carolina Independent Waste Haulers Association (NCIWHA), and various local Chambers of Commerce and business organizations, we are committed to industry excellence.
We take pride in being a family-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.
