Who We Are

Get to know the team behind National Waste Associates.

We are a national waste management company built on a simple idea: waste solutions should be smarter, more transparent, and easier to manage. From the beginning, our mission has been to simplify commercial waste management while delivering measurable value to our clients.

Our team is made up of experienced professionals who share a commitment to integrity, accountability, and customer-focused service. We believe in clear communication, proactive problem-solving, and building long-term partnerships with the organizations we serve.

At NWA, we’re more than waste brokers – we’re a strategic partner invested in helping our clients reduce costs, improve efficiency, and achieve their sustainability goals.

Company History

Founded in 1997, National Waste Associates was built on generations of experience in the waste management industry. That foundation continues to shape how we operate today – especially in the way we value and collaborate with our vendor partners.

We got our start as a carting company so we understand firsthand the critical role waste haulers play in delivering reliable service. That’s why we’ve built a nationwide network of trusted vendors, working together to provide consistent, high-quality waste and recycling solutions across North America.

As the industry continues to evolve – with changing regulations, shifting recycling markets, and increasing sustainability demands – we stay ahead by working closely with our partners to navigate local market conditions, compliance requirements, and environmental standards.

This collaborative approach allows us to deliver innovative solutions, including zero waste initiatives and advanced recycling programs, that position our clients for the future of waste management.

Our Leadership

National Waste Associates is led by CEO Carmine Esposito, a fourth-generation professional in the waste management industry. While the tools and technologies have evolved significantly since his great-grandfather’s early days in the business, the core values of resourcefulness, reliability, and hard work remain the same.

Our leadership team brings together decades of industry experience, with a deep understanding of the challenges businesses face when managing waste across multiple locations. They are focused on delivering solutions that simplify operations, control costs, and support the growing demand for sustainable waste management practices.

Their mission is to make NWA an indispensable extension of our clients’ operations – by driving continuous improvement, uncovering savings opportunities, and making commercial and industrial waste management easier to manage at every level.
