Smash My Trash® is transforming the commercial waste industry in the Lakeland, FL area
ABOUT US
As entrepreneurs who have grown up in our small city, my wife and I saw an opportunity to bring an unknown operation to our area that would disrupt the current archaic waste management market, help the environment through carbon reduction and bring significant savings to local businesses.
We operate out of our home, Plant City, the winter strawberry capital of the world. The city is known for agricultural business and food production facilities coupled with an old-school mentality of helping and supporting those you live and work with. We also operate in our neighboring Polk County, which is one of the fastest-growing commercial areas in the country.

Customer Spotlight
“Before we started using Smash my Trash, we would switch our cans 2-3 times a week. Now we switch once a week. They let you know when they cannot smash anymore so you know exactly when to call for a pickup and you know that you are maximizing your cans. They provide a great service and I highly recommend using them.”

“Tim and Dave with Smash My Trash has helped Star Distribution significantly reduce our waste charge. They did a great job of analyzing our needs and putting a program together lowering the number of can pulls we need each month. I would highly recommend any company to let Smash My Trash help them drop their refuse costs.”
