Upgrade
Founded in 2007, Redbox+ Dumpsters has carved out a distinctive position in the waste management industry with its inventive approach to dumpster rentals. Based in Mt. Clemens, Michigan, the company quickly gained recognition for rethinking how construction and renovation sites handle waste and sanitation.
Franchising opportunities became available in 2014, enabling business owners across the country to adopt and deliver Redbox+ Dumpsters' specialized services in their communities. This move expanded the brand’s reach and brought its innovative solutions to a broader market.
At the heart of the brand’s offering is the patented Elite container—a unique 2-in-1 system that merges a roll-off dumpster with portable restrooms. This all-in-one design simplifies logistics for job sites, eliminating the need to coordinate separate waste and sanitation services.
With this groundbreaking product, Redbox+ Dumpsters sets itself apart from traditional providers by offering streamlined, cost-effective, and highly convenient solutions that enhance efficiency for contractors and construction professionals.

Number of units
redbox+ Dumpsters had 253 total units in 2025, of which 253 were franchised-owned and 0 company-owned.
Redbox+ provides a structured training program to ensure that franchisees and their managers are well-prepared to operate their business effectively. The training includes both initial onboarding and optional or mandatory supplemental sessions throughout the franchise term.
Initial Training Program: This core training lasts approximately 3.5 to 5 days and is conducted at Redbox+ headquarters in Ann Arbor, Michigan, or another designated location. The program covers essential operational procedures and is required for the franchisee, designated equity owners, and the general manager. The training is tuition-free for up to three participants, though travel and lodging expenses are the franchisee’s responsibility.
Additional Initial Training: If more than three individuals need to attend the initial training, or if replacement managers are added later, the franchisee must pay a fee of $1,500 to $2,000 per person. This ensures all critical personnel are equally equipped to uphold brand standards.
Refresher and Supplemental Training: Redbox+ may offer or require franchisees and their staff to attend periodic refresher courses or supplemental training sessions. These may address system updates, operational enhancements, or compliance issues, with costs borne by the franchisee.
Territory Protection
Redbox+ offers franchisees a defined protected territory, typically composed of contiguous ZIP codes with a baseline population of approximately 300,000 people. This territory is clearly outlined in the Franchise Agreement and ensures that, as long as the franchisee remains in compliance, the franchisor will not establish or license another Redbox+ business within the same area.
Franchisees may expand their territory by purchasing additional population coverage, up to a maximum of 450,000. However, the protection is not absolute.
If a franchisee fails to meet performance expectations—specifically regarding sales volumes or service delivery—the franchisor reserves the right to reduce the territory size or introduce other franchisees or company-owned operations into the area.
