What Discount Waste, Inc. does

Discount Waste, Inc., operating as DW1, is a privately held, family-owned provider of jobsite services and equipment rentals founded in 1999 and headquartered in Peachtree Corners, Georgia. The company operates an asset-light aggregator model that delivers roll-off dumpsters, portable toilets, storage containers, mobile offices, fencing, barricades, cranes, aerial lifts, forklifts, earthmoving equipment, generators, light towers, HVAC units, and compactors, alongside waste removal, recycling, fueling, and emergency restoration services, to commercial customers across all 50 U.S. states via a network of 10,000+ vendor partners. Its customer base spans six named verticals — contractors, industrial facilities, manufacturing and distribution, retailers, property managers, and restoration contractors — and is anchored by enterprise accounts serving Home Depot-approved contractors and major national retail brands.

DW1's underlying technology stack is centered on two proprietary systems built in-house: the Waste Applications Customer Relationship Platform (created in 2018 to replace legacy systems) and the OneSource Customer Portal, launched in two phases in 2025 to provide unified jobsite, asset, service, and payment management with Autopay functionality. The company serves 1,000+ customers, supports 5,000+ active jobsites, and executes 50,000+ deliveries annually under a quote-based, multi-year contract pricing model. Go-to-market is sales-led enterprise field motion, with each customer assigned a dedicated National Account Manager acting as the single point of contact.

Revenue is generated through a mix of recurring equipment rentals, recurring commercial waste subscriptions, transaction-based waste removal and emergency restoration fees, and project-based service contracts. The company is bootstrapped with no external funding rounds, has remained profitable on an organic basis since founding, and in November 2023 consolidated its prior operating entities and satellite offices into a 45,000 sq ft headquarters. In 2025 founder Ed Foye moved to Chairman of the Board, with Richard Gravely assuming the CEO role and Shane Foye becoming President.

Direct peers

• Bin There Dump That: Residential and light-commercial roll-off dumpster rental franchise focused on the customer experience side of dumpster rental. Comparable to DW1 in roll-off delivery and customer-facing brand, though DW1 serves larger commercial/construction customers.
• Casella Waste Systems: Regional solid waste, recycling, and resource-management provider with roll-off and commercial services. Comparable mid-scale operator in construction and commercial waste, though more asset-heavy and regionally concentrated than DW1.
• MAX USA / National Construction Rentals: National provider of temporary fencing, portable restrooms, dumpsters, and other construction site rentals. Closest comparable in the bundled jobsite-services / temporary site services category where DW1 competes for national contractor accounts.

Broad incumbents

• Republic Services: Second-largest U.S. solid waste and recycling company with national roll-off and commercial collection operations. Direct peer in commercial waste, recycling, and roll-off for contractors and industrial customers.
• Waste Management, Inc. Largest U.S. waste services provider offering roll-off, commercial front-load, recycling, and disposal nationwide. Directly competes with DW1 in commercial waste/roll-off hauling and commercial recycling at national scale.
• Sunbelt Rentals: Second-largest North American equipment rental provider with a sizable fleet spanning aerial, earthmoving, climate control, and specialty construction equipment. Comparable to DW1's equipment rental offering with broader infrastructure and a partial jobsite-services portfolio.
• United Rentals: Largest equipment rental company in North America, offering aerial lifts, forklifts, earthmoving, and a broad range of jobsite equipment. Directly comparable to DW1's equipment rental portfolio but at vastly greater fleet scale and capitalization; also competes in adjacent jobsite services.
• Herc Rentals: Public equipment rental company with a fleet spanning aerial lifts, forklifts, earthmoving, and specialty equipment. Direct comparable to DW1's equipment rental side, though without the broad jobsite services bundle.
• Waste Connections: Top-tier North American solid waste services company with roll-off, commercial, and recycling services. Comparable in serving commercial and construction customers with broad geographic coverage, though typically via owned-asset model rather than aggregator.

Regional players
