Waste Pro cites contract success in 2024

Waste Pro USA Inc., a Longwood, Florida-based hauling firm with operations throughout the Southwestern United States, experienced a record year for new and renewed municipal contracts and completed 15 acquisitions in 2024, another record.

The success in 2024 involved 32 new and 32 renewed exclusive long-term municipal contracts serving nearly 460,000 residential customers. Waste Pro says it has welcomed nearly 200,000 new customers thanks to the contracts, which are poised to account for more than $906 million in revenue during their duration.

The contract terms vary from one to 10 years and provide for potential extensions. The largest new contracts include one for Sarasota County, Florida, and an expanded agreement in Orange County, Florida. Those two arrangements combine to provide $320 million in revenue to serve about 140,000 homes.

Seven of the new or renewed contracts in Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Florida and Louisiana total more than $20 million over their initial terms, says Waste Pro.

“This has been an important year in Waste Pro’s growth and maturity on the national stage,” says Sean Jennings, the company’s president and CEO. “We not only grew organically with several high-profile municipal contracts but saw the opportunity to bring additional growth and expansion with acquisitions.”

Waste Pro's 15 acquisitions in 2024 added to its residential customer base in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina and Tennessee and expanded its residential service area to include a presence in Kentucky.

Companies that are now part of the Waste Pro portfolio include Workbox, Gulf Pride Waste Solutions, Precision Container Services, Florence Recycling, McMinn Waste Removal, Cash Sanitation, Chase N Green Transfer Station, Geaux Waste, SPI Waste & Recycling (aka Stinky Pinky), Killona Ventures Landfill, Total Waste Solutions, Sunshine Grove Landfill, 98 Waste, Goodwin Sanitation and operations once managed by Republic Services in Cumming, Georgia.

Five acquisitions involved operations in Louisiana, expanding Waste Pro’s presence there to become what it calls “the dominant solid waste and recycling company in the Bayou State.”

Heading into 2025, Waste Pro manages more than 90 locations in 11 states, including 28 landfills, 16 transfer stations, and five material recovery facilities (MRFs). The firm has more than 5,000 employees and fleet of some 4,200 vehicles providing residential, commercial, construction and industrial services to more than 2.5 million customers.
