Upgrade
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.
