Why Richard Waldo

Twice a week, every week

Dependable scheduling households can plan around — Brandywine runs Wednesday and Saturday.

Simple, honest billing

No surprise fees and no billing headaches. One call to the office sorts anything out.

Neighbors, not a call center

A local family crew that goes the extra mile — including extra help for disabled customers.

About the company

A local family operation

Richard Waldo Sanitation is a family-run waste service built on doing right by the households it serves. There are no restrictions on your trash here — the crew regularly takes items other companies leave sitting at the curb, which makes it a uniquely flexible option for families, renters, and anyone clearing out more than a couple of bags.

Pickup runs twice a week, with Brandywine served on Wednesday and Saturday, so you always know when the truck is coming. Billing is handled the same way the routes are: simple, professional, and easy to sort out with one phone call. Customers consistently describe our staff as helpful, friendly, and genuinely glad to help.

If you'd rather have a real local trash service than a national provider, this is the one neighbors keep recommending.

"Great service, and great family! They go the extra mile for those disabled, hard to find a company nowadays that still has integrity and care for their customers. I wouldn't recommend anyone else if you are in the Morehead City, Newport, NC area. There is truly no better service."

Nikki Turman
"I've used them for over 20 years and couldn't be happier with the service I get. I trust these guys so much I let them come into my garage and get bottled water or Gatorade out of the fridge any time they want. First class family business!!"
