Alliance Disposal, a sustainable waste removal company based in Jersey City, has recently announced expansion into Florida. The company says this expansion is part of an effort to update the waste and recycling industry across America by providing modern solutions and incredible support to customers and suppliers of all sizes. According to a news release from Alliance , the company will rollout of its service to the metropolitan areas of Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa and Miami between Aug. 1 and Sept. 1. Alliance Disposal says it equips customers with applications to manage waste and recycling needs and supplies its partners with hardware and software to improve hauling efficiency and sustainability. The company says Florida cities are booming, with a 67 percent homeownership rate, almost 3 percent above the national average. There has also been a growing need for modern waste management services. Teams at Alliance Disposal have identified areas of opportunity for growth and partner with haulers in Florida that are equally dedicated to efficiency and environmental sustainability in the waste management industry. The company now partners with more than 25 waste haulers in Florida, providing dumpster rentals, recurring trash and recycling removal for businesses and soon curbside trash and recycling collection for homeowners. With this most recent expansion, the company is now partnered with more than 200 haulers across the East Coast, supporting local businesses and the jobs of those they employ. “We are dedicated to providing Floridian home and business owners with a simple and affordable way to reach their waste disposal goals, and workers in the industry with a way to earn a steady income and achieve environmental sustainability,” says Joseph DiNardi-Mack, Alliance Disposal’s co-founder and CEO. “These Florida launches are a major phase in our national expansion and our first venture into the Southern US.” Alliance Disposal closed its first round of funding in May and has since then grown from its home market of New Jersey into Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland and Washington, D.C.
