On the job in Greensboro right now
Greensboro is our hometown. As of October 2026 we are working on about 175 job sites inside the city, with roughly 150 dumpsters out, from new neighborhoods off Horse Pen Creek Road to commercial work along West Friendly Avenue and South Holden Road. We also ran all of the dumpsters for The Lindley, the luxury apartment community at Holden Road and Market Street. The 30-yard is what Greensboro builders order most, with the 15-yard next for remodels and clean-outs. Our Bishop Road landfill sits just minutes outside the city limits, so a full dumpster does not travel far to be emptied and the truck is back on the road quickly. In the six weeks from September 1 to October 12, 2026, we made more than 230 dump-and-return trips and about 55 new deliveries in Greensboro. Job sites we are hauling for right now include the Reedy Fork, Havencrest, Brookhaven, Wynterhall and Oak Wood Park communities.
In Thornton and Wynterhall now
New homes are going up in the Thornton community (27405) and in Wynterhall, and we have dumpsters and portable toilets on lot after lot. Builders get both from us, on our own trucks, on one bill.
