Roseburg Disposal

What Roseburg Disposal does

Roseburg Disposal Company is a third-generation, family-owned waste management firm founded in 1932 by brothers Norm and Orville (Noisy) John in Roseburg, Oregon. The company provides residential curbside trash collection, commercial waste pickup, drop box and dumpster rentals, and a new residential recycling program to households and businesses across Central Douglas County. Operations are run by 21 staff members using a fleet of 19 garbage trucks plus 4 pickups, with the company awaiting delivery of one of Oregon's first electric garbage trucks.

The service portfolio is delivered entirely through direct channels without third-party intermediaries. Residential customers subscribe to weekly curbside collection using 35, 65, or 95-gallon wheeled carts priced from $20 to $45 per month depending on bin size and city versus rural location. Commercial customers select from 40–90 gallon bins or 1–6 cubic yard containers with 1–5 pickups per week, with pricing ranging from $16.50 to over $1,400 per month. Drop box and roll-off rentals (10–30 cubic yards) are offered as permanent or temporary placements, with disposal fees of $100/ton. A new residential recycling program launches April–May 2026 with standardized carts accepting plastic bottles, cans, cardboard, and paper, aligned with Oregon's statewide RecycleOn initiative. Supporting tools include an address-based collection day scheduler, an online bill payment portal, and a customer resource center linking to BottleDrop redemption centers, Douglas County landfills, and Oregon DEQ guidance.

Revenue mechanics are predominantly subscription-recurring for residential and commercial collection, with transaction-based rental revenue for drop boxes and dumpsters. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investment, no subsidiaries, and no M&A activity. Current leadership rests with Dori John, who became President and General Manager in 2011 after a career in legal recruitment, succeeding her father Doug John who retired in 2012 after 41 years with the company. Customer acquisition is driven by community reputation, word-of-mouth, Google reviews, and a modest online presence including a website, Facebook page, and YouTube channel.
