LOCAL, FAMILY-OWNED GARBAGE PICKUP SERVICE
SERVING ABILENE, TX & ALL OF WEST TEXAS

Though no written code has ever existed, there are unwritten rules that have been passed down from generation to generation. A code we believe has too long been abandoned. It is this code, these homespun values, that we proudly stake our business upon. Hospitality, fair play, respect, honesty, integrity and community.

At CWS, a handshake still means something.

For us, waste management isn’t just about take, take, take. It is also delivery. We deliver service, reliability and integrity in everything we do. It is this delivery that drives us- at our facility, on our trucks, at the landfill, in our offices and most importantly at your home. You are our community. This is our home. And we are proud to be your neighbor.

Vision

To become the recognized standard for operational excellence, safety, customer satisfaction, community involvement and ethical leadership that others in our industry are measured.

Mission

To grow and prosper by serving God, developing an exceptional team, and providing a proven level of service that holds true to our core values.

A Bit of History

County Waste Service was founded by Ethan Kunkel in 2015. As a native Texas family-owned and operated waste disposal company we serve our communities with a range of services from curbside garbage pickup and residential trash collection to construction site dumpster rentals and heavy industrial hazardous waste disposal. In addition to our weekly trash service, we also feature both residential and commercial dumpster rentals.

We started and continue to grow this company with the goal of providing the best services for our clients and to build an enduring business. With the help of a team of managing members, County Waste Service is becoming a household and community name in the Big Country.

How We Get Things Gone

Technology

Diversity of Services

You may be wondering what waste items we can take care of. The long list includes things you may have around your home or business from lead-based paints, old freezers, batteries, solar panels, or bricks, to dead animals/dead livestock, all the way to Aunt Jane’s house (and all of its contents) that you inherited. Whatever it is, we can help you get it gone. Give us a call and see how we can lend you a hand. (325) 216-8328
