Coastal Waste and Recycling

What Coastal Waste and Recycling does

Coastal Waste & Recycling Inc. is a privately held, fully integrated regional solid waste and recycling company headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida, founded in 2017 by CEO Brendon Pantano alongside private equity firm Summer Street Capital Partners. The company provides residential and municipal waste collection, commercial front-load dumpster service, roll-off container rental, portable restrooms and shower trailers, scrap metal recycling, and FDOT-approved recycled aggregate production to homeowners, businesses, contractors, event organizers, and municipal governments across Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina. Operations are backed by a fleet of more than 1,000 collection and support vehicles, a workforce of over 1,800 employees, and 46 owned facilities including 20 material recovery facilities, 6 transfer stations, and one C&D landfill. The company has pursued a programmatic acquisition strategy, absorbing more than a dozen regional haulers and recyclers (S&S Waste, Pro Disposal, AFS Recycling, Nate's Sanitation, Precision Portables, and others), and in Spring 2023 secured institutional backing from Macquarie Asset Management to accelerate expansion in Florida and adjacent states.

The business model blends recurring, contractually-anchored revenue with project-based and commodity-priced streams. Core economics derive from multi-year exclusive municipal franchise agreements (notably with Hernando County, the City of Augusta, Town of Davie, City of North Miami Beach, Pompano Beach, Cooper City, Coral Springs, Lantana, and Oldsmar) and monthly subscription residential and commercial collection services, supplemented by pay-as-you-go roll-off rentals (10–40 yard), portable sanitation rental through the Precision Portables brand, transaction-based scrap metal purchases at five South Florida drop-off locations, and sale of FDOT-approved recycled aggregates through the Coastal Materials Management division. Pricing is supplemented by a universal 14.99% Recovery Fee that passes through fuel, disposal, insurance, labor, and regulatory cost volatility across all lines of business.

The underlying operating technology centers on conventional waste-industry infrastructure — collection fleets, MRFs, transfer stations, and aggregate processing — augmented by recent investments in electrified refuse vehicles (Mack LR Electric Class 8 and Volvo EC230 units deployed in Pompano Beach) and a CIO-led enterprise technology agenda covering post-acquisition integration, fleet management, and digital payment infrastructure. Differentiation comes from vertical integration across the collection-to-disposal value chain, regulatory franchise capture, and multi-state route density rather than from proprietary software or AI capabilities. The company is led by a third-generation waste-industry operator and a management team drawn from Waste Management, BFI, Republic Services, Casella, and Waste Connections.
