Originally structured as a pure waste brokerage firm upon its founding in 2010, Waste Control pivoted in 2019 under the direction and management of shareholder and CEO, David Fahrion, to become a waste and recycling service management company focusing on optimization and long-term management of its clients’ waste and recycling needs. The company services all types of commercial customers (including multi-family property management, health care, food services, hospitality, retail, construction, and manufacturing), with a distinguished, top tier client list throughout California and the greater United States. Waste Control created a commodities division in 2021 via the acquisition of FPO Recycling that expanded their service offerings through commodities management and equipment leasing and sales.
