Aspen Waste Systems, based in Minneapolis, has thrown its hat into the ring in Colorado’s competitive waste disposal market. Two employees took this picture as they were driving a truck to the company’s new facility in Commerce City.Aspen Waste Systems, a Minneapolis-based company, has opened an office in Commerce City, making it the newest player in metro Denver’s competitive waste disposal and recycling market.
Unlike the two biggest players in the market, Republic Services and WM , Aspen Waste had grown organically rather than through acquisitions. Kircher Fang said metro Denver represents a healthy and growing market where potential clients will likely value working with an independent, family-owned company.
The company operates facilities in Minneapolis and Eagan, Minn., that serve the Minneapolis market, and another two in Earth City, Mo. and National Stockyards, Ill., that serve the St. Louis market. It has locations in Des Moines and Ames, Iowa, that serve the Des Moines market.
