Factor Group Inc.

What Factor Group Inc. does

Factor Group Inc. is a privately held, New Jersey-based environmental services firm that provides waste management and soil disposal solutions to the construction, infrastructure, and real estate industries across the Northeast United States (NY, NJ, PA, CT). Originally formed in 2006 as an engineering company, Factor Group has evolved into a licensed waste contractor offering six interconnected services: excavated soil disposal, liquid and specialty waste management, certified clean fill supply, waste characterization, construction environmental services, and brownfield redevelopment support. Its wholly-owned subsidiary Factor Engineers PLLC supplies licensed Professional Engineer services in NY, NJ, and PA, enabling PE-certified waste characterization reports that anchor the company's regulatory and liability-management value proposition.

The business is built on a portfolio of regulatory credentials that are difficult and time-consuming to obtain, including the NJ A-901 solid & hazardous waste license, NYC BIC Trade Waste Broker certification, Westchester County Class A solid waste handling license, NYC SCA prequalified vendor status, NYC PASSPort/VENDEX approval, and PANYNJ Small Business Enterprise certification. Customers include large construction primes such as Granite Construction and J. Fletcher Creamer & Son, developers like Dabar Development Partners and Monadnock Construction, and municipal and state entities including JCMUA, NYC HPD, and the NYC School Construction Authority. Pricing is custom and quote-based, structured around project scope, waste volume, regulatory complexity, and geography, with multi-year contractual cadence on larger engagements.

The company operates an enterprise field-sales motion, generating demand through its website, LinkedIn presence, monthly regulatory newsletter, direct phone outreach, and leadership of the NYC Brownfield Partnership Solid Waste Committee. With a headcount of 1–10 employees, Factor Group runs an asset-light model, subcontracting trucking and disposal while retaining in-house engineering, regulatory navigation, and project management. The firm's strategic trajectory has been defined by a 2020 cluster of regulatory approvals, the Factor Engineers PLLC subsidiary buildout, and a content-marketing push that collectively position it as an emerging, license-rich specialist in the Northeast construction waste value chain.
