Rare opportunity to acquire a recession-proof, high-profit dumpster rental and trash-hauling company serving the booming Charlotte, NC area and surrounding regions. With over 30 years of brand reputation, a loyal customer base, long-standing vendor relationships, and a rapidly growing waste-management market, this business offers a new owner immediate revenue, highly reliable operations, and unlimited expansion potential.
Business Overview
Founded in 1991, this well-established hauling and dumpster rental company has become one of the most trusted and dependable service providers within a 60-mile radius of the Charlotte metro and parts of Columbia, SC. Known for its fast delivery, dependability, and zero-delay service, the company has earned a reputation that keeps contractors, businesses, and homeowners returning year after year.
Operating out of two strategic standalone facilities (one fully owned), the business maintains a fleet of trucks, dumpsters, and specialized equipment – everything needed to run a streamlined, profitable hauling operation. With strong Google visibility and decades of repeat customers, the company is perfectly positioned as a leading go-to provider in its market.
Key Financial Highlights
– Annual Revenue: $2.95M over the last 3 years, stable and consistent.
– SDE: $742K
– Margins: ~45% average gross profit margin, reflecting efficient operations.
– Over $900K worth of inventory (dumpsters, vehicles)
Operational Details
The business runs as a smooth, efficient hauling operation offering delivery, pickup, disposal, and turnaround of trash dumpsters. With 9 dependable employees (plus the owner’s active oversight), the team ensures consistent service that keeps projects moving without delays.
Two facilities support the operation:
Charlotte Area Facility (Owned): ~2,100 sq ft — truck & dumpster storage, tools, operations hub
Lexington, SC Facility (Financed): ~2,400 sq ft — additional storage, strong visibility, and convenient highway access
Systems continue to modernize with dumpster tracking, automated billing, and a strong digital footprint that keeps leads flowing. The current owner is active but enjoys flexibility and vacations, thanks to a reliable, long-tenured staff who will stay through transition.
Reason for Sale
The owner is 63 years old, ready to retire after 36 successful years of building and growing the company.
