About The Company
Local Faces, Greener Places Capital Waste Services was founded in Columbia, South Carolina in 2015 with a goal to provide world-class service to our neighbors. Our customer base consists of 16,000 commercial and industrial customers and over 95,000 residential customers throughout our service footprint.

We do not answer to Wall Street but rather we’re accountable to our guiding principles, employees, and customers. This approach has led to recognitions such as “TOP 25 Fastest Growing Companies in 2020, 2021, 2023, & 2024” and “SCBIZ Roaring Twenties Award in 2020 & 2021.” At Capital Waste Services, we are passionate about our customers, and we have a singular focus to provide superior and dependable waste and recycling services.
