Neighbors serving neighbors
We're a family-owned waste management company rooted in eastern North Carolina. We've been at this since the mid-1990s, and we still believe the best way to run a business is to treat people the way you'd want to be treated.
Our Story
Tons of Trash started in the mid-1990s, right here in Duplin County. For close to 30 years it's run the same way: family, one local phone number, and a crew that knows every stop on the route.
We grew up in farming. Generations of us have worked the land right here in Duplin, and we know that our reputation is what our neighbors say about us when we're not in the room.
Our lot sits on Thigpen Road. Local drivers, same routes, same promise: show up when we said we'd show up, charge what we said we'd charge, and answer the phone when someone calls.
What's changed is how we're growing. Slowly, on purpose. We're not trying to be the biggest hauler in eastern NC. We're trying to be the one your county can count on when the bigger guys drop the ball.
Our Mission
Provide dependable, professional waste management services with care, integrity, and a personal touch, ensuring every customer feels served.
Our Vision
A clean, healthy community where waste is managed responsibly, customers feel valued, and the company grows sustainably, celebrating roots while embracing innovation.
