What NASA Services does

NASA Services, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned waste management and recycling company headquartered at 1100 South Maple Avenue in Montebello, California. The company operates integrated facilities including a maintenance plant and a large fleet of collection vehicles that dispatch around the clock, and was formally incorporated in 1986 with operating roots dating to the 1950s. Its service portfolio spans residential curbside collection, commercial and multifamily waste removal, roll-off container rentals (10- and 40-yard), commercial bins (1-4 cubic yards plus 95-gallon carts), waste compactors, recycling and organics programs, construction and demolition debris management, bulky item pickup, emergency dumpster services, and special waste handling. The company also operates EchoRecycle, an in-house educational outreach initiative.

The business serves municipalities, residents, commercial establishments, multifamily complexes, and construction/demolition customers across more than 15 cities in Los Angeles County (including Burbank, Commerce, El Segundo, Glendale, La Cañada Flintridge, Manhattan Beach, Montebello, Pasadena, Pico Rivera, Santa Monica, Torrance, and Vernon) and Orange County (Costa Mesa, Irvine). It holds exclusive franchise contracts with the cities of Pico Rivera and La Cañada Flintridge and partnerships with Glendale and the City of Los Angeles through the recycLA program. Customers are acquired through a field-sales-led motion in which account representatives conduct site surveys and work assessments before contract commencement, supported by an online customer portal and phone-based ordering.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring monthly subscriptions for residential and commercial collections, with additional one-time fees for roll-off rentals, bulky item pickups, and emergency services, plus hardware sales on compactors. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company differentiates on a community-first, family-owned heritage, California regulatory compliance expertise (SB 1383, AB 341, AB 1826, AB 939), LEED compliance support for C&D projects, an in-house certified maintenance crew supporting a 'No Down Time' pledge, daily 18-point vehicle inspections, real-time fleet tracking, and sustained receipt of the California Highway Patrol's BIT Inspection Program Safety Award since 1995.
