Pellitteri Waste Systems

What Pellitteri Waste Systems does

Pellitteri Waste Systems is a third-generation, family-owned waste management and recycling company headquartered in Madison, Wisconsin. It provides residential curbside trash and single-stream recycling collection, commercial trash and recycling pickup, temporary and permanent dumpster rentals (2-30 cubic yards), compactor design-installation-maintenance, on-site confidential document shredding (NAID AAA certified), and specialized industrial recycling across 46 municipalities in Southern Wisconsin and, following the 2025 Pink Dumpsters acquisition, the Greater Milwaukee area. Approximately 100 employees serve 85,000+ weekly residential households and a diversified commercial book spanning healthcare, education, hospitality, restaurants, automotive, manufacturing, property management, and nonprofits.

The company's technical backbone is the Kipp Street Station, a fully automated Material Recovery Facility (MRF) opened in 2012 that sorts, bales, and ships single-stream recyclables to manufacturers, supported by a Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) fleet introduced in 2015 with internal maintenance capabilities. A separate Data Destruction Division provides on-site document shredding with NAID AAA certification (the highest tier), and the company operates a mobile app (iOS/Android) plus an extensive YouTube education library as customer-facing digital channels.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring residential subscriptions (annual cart fees ~$39-$45 per year), monthly commercial dumpster and compactor service agreements, per-ton and per-day dumpster rental fees for residential projects, and managed-services pricing for MRF recycling processing. Distribution is direct-to-customer via a consultative sales-led commercial motion (on-site surveys, written service agreements with price and service guarantees, typically 1-2 business day delivery) and municipal contract bidding; the company has no reseller or distributor layer.
