Trash on Trucks is building up its fleet at its new headquarters — a property in rural Fall Creek that it purchased last month from a small construction and landscaping company. Set to begin service in Eau Claire and Altoona next month, the new refuse hauler is co-owned by Jasie Mullen, Wayne McIrvin, Hana and Williams. The four of them combined have about 25 years of experience in the local garbage industry.
Trash on Trucks doesn’t outright name the owners’ previous employer on it’s website, trashontrucks.com, but an anecdote there mentions they’d previously worked for a local hauler that was bought by a global conglomerate in 2021. Last fall Canadian corporation GFL Environmental acquired Eau Claire-based Boxx Sanitation.
Following the buyout, the four wanted to re-create what they’d liked about working for a locally-owned hauler. “We just wanted to bring it back, and do it ourselves,” Hana said. Among the virtues McIrvin cited of his former employer was being “employee-centric,” taking care of the community and delivering good service. Each of the four co-owners has specific skills and experience they bring to the table.
