Patriot Disposal

What Patriot Disposal does

Patriot Disposal Inc. is a privately held, family-owned waste disposal service company headquartered in Manassas, Virginia, operating a fleet of approximately 70 trucks across Northern Virginia. Founded by Jean Poague (CFO/Owner) and John Poague (President/Co-Founder), the company serves three core customer segments — commercial businesses, HOA residential communities, and construction/industrial sites — in Fairfax, Loudoun, Prince William, and Fauquier counties, plus Arlington, Alexandria, and now Stafford and Spotsylvania counties.

The company delivers three primary service lines: (1) Commercial Waste Services, comprising frontload containers (2–8 yards), rearload containers (1.5–3 yards) designed for space-constrained sites, and single-stream commercial recycling; (2) Residential HOA Services, including twice-weekly curbside trash collection, weekly yard waste pickup (March–December), and weekly single-stream recycling; and (3) Roll-Off Services, offering temporary (10–40 yard) and permanent roll-off rentals plus compactor services with up to six-days-per-week removal. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; container replacement and add-on fees are published for selected SKUs. Technology stack is minimal and outsourced: a third-party TruxWeb route management and payment portal handles customer billing and account management, while ADP Workforce Now powers recruitment. There is no evidence of proprietary technology, software products, or developer-facing APIs.

Patriot operates a subscription and recurring-revenue business model anchored in multi-period commercial and HOA contracts, supplemented by usage-based revenue from temporary roll-off rentals for construction and industrial customers. Sales is direct and locally executed via field representatives, inbound phone (703-257-7100), email ([email protected]), and online quote-request forms. As of 2024–2025, Patriot Disposal was acquired by Gold Medal Environmental, a Kinderhook Industries-backed waste management platform that intends to consolidate its operations under the Patriot brand, positioning Patriot as the consumer-facing flagship of a regional rollup. At deal close, Patriot generated approximately $40 million in annualized revenue and serviced over 35,000 residents and hundreds of commercial accounts.
