We are a recycling and waste company. Our mission is to provide efficient, economical waste management and recycling solutions for businesses and consumers that reduce their carbon footprint and help preserve our environment for future generations. Our company was founded by John S. Burker Jr. legally in 1994. Well before the legal formation of the Company, John provided service to the local community with a simple pickup truck. He would recycle the glass, cardboard, and paper from the trash. Over time he grew the business from one truck to three trucks, a mortar and brick building, and 5 employees. In 1995 the Company was doing well, and John was able to buy a new pickup truck and a home for his family. The company's luck changed shortly after that. The company had to deal with three fires that were due to electrical issues in the building. Then in 2000, the building was closed because the EPA had deemed it a supersite for a cleanup project. John didn't give up, kept pushing forward, and tried finding a new building to move the business. The business relied on a building to be successful.
After exhausting all resources to find a new building, he was left shorthanded. With no building to relocate, the only option was to downsize the company. All employees were let go and equipment was either sold or put in storage until a sale was made. A small lot was rented out to park the remaining equipment for the business. Since 2000 trash services have been offered to customers, whereas before the company only processed recycling materials. In October 2022, John passed away suddenly. Isahia, John's oldest son assumed daily operations of the company. On December 12, 2022, the company's structure was changed to a corporation. Our dedicated team is comprised of two people, Isahia and Ashley (Isahia's sister-in-law), Isahia takes care of the daily operations and Ashley takes care of the invoicing of customers. Since the change in management, we have maintained our current customers and added about twenty new clients. In addition to adding new customers, we have also added additional services and increased our service area. We have also launched two websites and listed the Company on Nextdoor, Google, and Yelp. We are still working on getting more hardware for the office to make things operate more efficiently.
We have planned over the next few months to bring our brand to the local communities through events. Our business model is simple, provide hassle-free, affordable waste and recycling services to businesses and consumers. Listen to the customers and provide solutions to any issues that may arise. We believe word of mouth is the best way to advertise and deliver on our promises. Isahia doesn't have a business degree but has been around the business his whole life. Before moving on to a new career path Isahia worked for his father when he was still alive. He had done every job in the facility when it was open.
The Company is seeking investors to help get us to the next phase. Our goal is much bigger than keeping our current traction in growth. In fact, we want to revolutionize our current market in waste management. We want our communities to have zero waste and a smaller carbon footprint that future generations can benefit from. However, this is just one step in that direction. Our market is perfect for our company to grow but, we need investors for us to get to the next milestone.
