Winter Brothers Waste Systems

What Winter Brothers Waste Systems does

Winter Brothers Waste Systems, founded in 2003 and headquartered in Westbury, New York, is a regional solid waste and recycling services provider serving residential and commercial customers across Long Island's Suffolk and Nassau Counties. The company self-describes as Long Island's largest recycler and solid waste service provider and historically pursued growth through both organic expansion and targeted acquisitions, including Leteri Waste Management (2016) and East End Sanitation (2017), funded in part by a $25.6 million growth equity round from Clairvest Group in 2015. The core service offering spans scheduled residential trash and recycling collection, commercial waste disposal, roll-off dumpster rentals in 10-, 20-, and 30-yard sizes, bulk item pickup, construction and demolition debris removal, the Bagster bag product, and e-waste handling for bulbs, batteries, and electronics.

Following its 2024 acquisition by WM (Waste Management) — described as North America's leading environmental solutions provider — Winters Bros. now operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary branded "Winters Bros. | A WM Company." All former Winters Bros. employees transitioned to WM, and local service routes, crews, pricing, and billing cycles have been preserved while customer accounts are being migrated to WM's My WM digital platform. That platform provides 24/7 account management, pickup ETA, holiday schedule visibility, missed pickup reporting, extra pickup requests, AutoPay and paperless billing, biometric login (facial recognition and fingerprint), and an AI-powered virtual assistant for customer queries. Revenue mechanics are anchored in recurring monthly subscription billing for residential and commercial collection, supplemented by transactional roll-off rentals and one-time bulk pickup fees, with a hardware component from Bagster bag sales. The business is functionally a route-dense, labor-and-asset-intensive collection operation whose strategic differentiation post-acquisition is access to WM's national scale, safety standards, and digital tooling rather than proprietary technology.
