Founded in 2018 by industry veteran Joe Martino, DumpStor has rapidly emerged as a leader in the waste management sector. Headquartered in Manassas, Virginia, the company began franchising in 2020, offering entrepreneurs a streamlined entry into the dumpster rental and job-site storage industries.

DumpStor provides a diverse range of dumpster rental services tailored to residential, commercial, and industrial clients. Their product lineup includes open-top dumpsters, enclosed dumpsters, and the innovative DumpStor Pro—a patent-pending combination unit that integrates secure storage with waste disposal capabilities.

This unique offering addresses the dual needs of debris removal and on-site storage, setting DumpStor apart from traditional waste management services.

What distinguishes DumpStor from its competitors is its commitment to innovation and customer convenience. The DumpStor Pro exemplifies this by merging two essential job-site services into a single unit, enhancing efficiency for clients.

Training is conducted at a site designated by the franchisor or through virtual platforms. The program is provided free of charge for up to two participants, but all travel, living, and other related expenses must be borne by the franchisee.
  2. Supplementary Pre-Opening or Opening Assistance: Upon request, the franchisor may offer additional on-site training or opening assistance. This service is subject to the franchisor’s discretion, and fees apply for such additional training sessions.

Territory Protection

DumpStor Franchising, LLC provides limited territory protection to its franchisees, ensuring a defined area within which the franchisee operates their business. This protected territory typically includes a population of up to 350,000 individuals, defined using postal zip codes or other geographic markers.

While the franchise agreement prohibits other DumpStor-branded businesses from operating in the designated territory, the franchisor reserves the right to adjust territory size under specific conditions, such as unmet sales benchmarks or royalty requirements.

Franchisees must primarily service customers within their assigned territory and avoid solicitation outside it without written permission. While DumpStor does not guarantee exclusivity beyond the protected territory, it emphasizes adherence to operational standards to maintain territorial privileges.
