SBC Waste Solutions

What SBC Waste Solutions does

S.B.C. Waste Solutions, Inc. is a woman-owned (WBENC-certified) waste management and recycling company headquartered in Broadview, Illinois, founded in 2018 by CEO Karen Coley, with operating leadership from the Flood family (President Shawn Flood, COO Brian Flood). The company provides curbside residential collection, commercial front-load and rear-load dumpster service, roll-off dumpster rentals in 10 to 40-yard sizes, portable toilet rentals (standard and luxury trailers), recycling and organics programs, and compactors to residential subscribers, commercial accounts, contractors, event organizers, and municipalities across the Chicago metropolitan area and surrounding counties.

SBC operates a fleet of more than 50 trucks, supported by GPS and automated sensor route optimization and a growing share of LNG/CNG vehicles, with a team of 60+ employees including experienced sales executives and a bilingual customer care function. Revenue is generated primarily through recurring monthly subscriptions for residential and commercial routes, with transactional fees for roll-off rentals and portable toilets, and usage-based fuel and environmental surcharges tied to the EIA/DOE diesel index and a 16% environmental charge. The company is privately held, family-controlled, and bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding, and it supplements direct sales (phone and web quoting) with municipal contracts, an online self-service portal, and a community-led marketing approach anchored in local sponsorships and earned media coverage.
