Interstate Waste Services acquires Pinto Service

Interstate Waste Services Inc. (IWS), a Teaneck, New Jersey-based provider of solid waste and recycling services, has acquired Pinto Service Inc. and National Transport Inc. (collectively Pinto), a family-owned waste hauling company with deep roots in northern New Jersey.

IWS says the partnership brings together two family-founded organizations that share a commitment to exceptional service, employee health and safety and community engagement.

Founded in 1951 by Joseph and Gloria Pinto, Pinto Service grew from a single-truck operation into a trusted waste management provider known for reliability and strong customer relationships. As one of the leading family businesses in New Jersey, Pinto represents an opportunity for IWS to integrate not only a loyal customer base, but also an exceptional, tenured workforce.

Through this combination, IWS says, Pinto customers will gain access to a fully integrated and expanded recycling and processing platform and state-of-the-art safety technologies while continuing to receive the personal, dependable service they trust.

“As someone who grew up in the waste management industry through my own family business, I have a deep respect for what the Pinto family built over the past seven decades,” IWS founder and CEO Michael DiBella says. “IWS is a family business built on family businesses. We have grown by partnering with companies like Pinto that share our values of service, integrity and community commitment. After over 30 years of friendship with the Pinto family, we’re honored to welcome them to the IWS family and remain dedicated to maintaining the high level of service their customers have relied on for generations.”

As part of the acquisition, IWS will integrate all of Pinto Service’s collection services, transfer station and disposal operations, employees and its fleet of over 40 collection vehicles into its operations. The Pinto family will continue its leadership role of the new IWS Lodi NJ operations, the company says, ensuring continuity while maintaining the strong relationships built over decades.

“This partnership is a perfect match,” says Charlie Pinto, owner of Pinto. “IWS not only shares our values and our dedication to service excellence but has a deep respect for our employees and the culture we have built. We will continue delivering the high-quality service our customers expect with the continued support of the Pinto team who have been the backbone of our business for seven decades.”

The acquisition of Pinto Service marks another milestone in IWS’s expansion across the tristate area. It follows a series of strategic acquisitions aimed at strengthening IWS’s market leadership, including Oak Ridge Waste & Recycling in southwestern Connecticut and suburban New York, as well as Marangi Disposal, the largest independent hauler in Orange and Rockland Counties, New York.

As IWS continues to grow, the company remains committed to sustainability, operational efficiency and community-focused service, ensuring that family-founded values remain at the heart of its operations.
