Community Waste Disposal

What Community Waste Disposal does

Community Waste Disposal (CWD) is a Dallas, Texas-based, privately held waste management company founded in 1984 by the Roemer family. It is the largest privately owned trash and recycling collection company in North Texas, serving over 40 municipalities under exclusive franchise agreements as well as direct commercial, high-rise, and multifamily accounts. Service is delivered through a company-owned fleet that, since 2012, has prioritized Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) trucks, making CWD the first privately owned hauler in the DFW metroplex to operate CNG vehicles.

CWD's product surface spans three integrated lines: (1) residential services including weekly trash collection with 95-gallon carts, curbside recycling (since 1992) with multiple bin/cart configurations, household hazardous waste and electronics door-side collection, yard waste composting, bulk waste, and brush collection; (2) commercial dumpster rental covering front load dumpsters, roll-off containers, open top containers, and compactors; and (3) community programs such as X-treme Green Events and Green Events. Operations are supported by two transfer stations (2010 California Crossing Road in Dallas and 9901 Custer Road in Plano), online scheduling and bill-pay tools, and an outsourced billing relationship with Inframark for select franchises.

CWD's business model is subscription-style recurring revenue: long-duration municipal franchise contracts (typically multi-year, with examples including a 5-year Van Alstyne contract in 2026 and an 11-year Corinth relationship since 2014) provide a contracted residential base, while commercial customers generate recurring hauling revenue on scheduled pickup cycles. The company is led by Greg Roemer (CEO), Jason Roemer (President), and Nicole Roemer (Municipal Director), with no disclosed outside equity or debt capital and no operations outside the North Texas region.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Waste Management Inc. Largest US waste services company offering residential, commercial, and industrial collection plus disposal. Competes with CWD for North Texas municipal franchise contracts but operates nationally with vastly greater scale.
• GFL Environmental: Canadian-based environmental services company with expanding US operations including Texas. Competes in municipal and commercial collection in the broader Texas waste market.
• Republic Services: Second-largest US waste hauler with full-service collection and disposal across the country. Active in Texas municipal bidding, directly competing with CWD for franchise agreements in overlapping DFW-area cities.
• Progressive Waste Solutions: Waste Connections subsidiary operating across North America in commercial and residential collection. Comparable in service mix and contract-based municipal exposure.
• Casella Waste Systems: Northeast-focused regional waste hauler with vertical integration into recycling. Comparable in operating model (regional private-like operator with municipal exposure) although geographically distinct.

Regional players

• FCC Environmental Services: Florida-based waste collection and recycling company serving municipalities and commercial customers. Similar model to CWD as a regional private-equity-backed operator in municipal and commercial collection.
• City of Dallas Sanitation Services: Public works operation providing in-house waste collection within Dallas city limits. Comparable as a North Texas solid waste collection provider but operates via municipal in-house model rather than private franchise.

Direct peers

• Waste Connections: Major North American solid waste operator with strong Texas presence. Previously held the Celina contract that CWD won back in 2025, making it a direct competitor for CWD's franchise municipalities.
• Texas Disposal Systems: Privately held Texas-based waste hauler serving Austin and surrounding areas. Most similar to CWD as a regionally dominant private player competing for municipal contracts in Texas.

Others

• Clean Harbors: Specialty environmental services company handling hazardous waste and industrial services. Comparable to CWD's HHW door-side collection and X-treme Green Events offerings at the specialty waste intersection.
