Sprint Waste Services

What Sprint Waste Services does

Sprint Waste Services was a privately-held environmental services company founded in 2006 and headquartered in Sugar Land, Texas, specializing in waste collection, recycling, and disposal services across the Gulf Coast region of Texas and Louisiana. The company operated a network of more than 14 branch yards, drop-off locations, landfill facilities (in Fort Bend County and Montgomery County), and material recovery infrastructure, providing scheduled residential, commercial, industrial, government, and construction-sector waste management. Its service portfolio encompassed commercial dumpster and roll-off rentals (2- to 40-yard sizes), compactors, recycling, organics and compost collection, construction waste handling, excavation, industrial cleaning, and liquid/hazardous waste management.

The company's business model was subscription-based and recurring, with pricing structured around container size, service frequency, and waste type, billed monthly to commercial and residential customers. Customer-facing technology consisted of a MyAccount online portal supporting bill payment, AutoPay setup, service requests, and a charitable giving program (the Full Circle Project). Go-to-market was sales-led through the local branch network, targeting enterprise commercial accounts, government/municipal customers, industrial facilities, and individual residential subscribers.

In 2024, Sprint Waste Services was acquired by GFL Environmental Inc., a major North American waste management company, and its operations, customer accounts, and service territories were integrated into GFL's network. Following the acquisition, former Sprint Waste customers were transitioned to GFL's MyAccount portal, billing systems, and branch locations across Texas and Louisiana, and the Sprint Waste brand ceased to operate as an independent entity.

Competes directly with Sprint Waste for commercial and municipal collection contracts and C&D work.
