Are you ready to capitalize on a disruptive, high-demand, and recession-resistant business model in the essential $35 billion US waste management industry? The Crushr franchise offers a unique opportunity to own a lean, low-overhead, and high-margin mobile waste compaction service that is redefining how commercial businesses manage their open-top dumpster waste.
Crushr's core service utilizes a proprietary, patented mobile compaction truck that visits customer sites to significantly reduce the volume of contents in their existing open-top dumpsters and roll-off containers. By crushing and compacting the waste by up to 80% in as little as 12 minutes, Crushr effectively cuts the customer's expensive hauling frequency by as much as half. This simple, effective, and environmentally conscious solution saves clients significant money on their waste management bills, fuel surcharges, and disposal fees, creating a compelling value proposition that drives recurring revenue for franchisees.
Positioned as an innovative, "asset-heavy" service, Crushr stands out from typical "junk removal" or "brokerage" concepts. Our success is built on superior, patented technology and a scalable, B2B-focused model that requires no brick-and-mortar storefront and minimal staff (as lean as 1-2 employees). This simplicity allows for rapid scaling across multiple territories and delivers a positive bottom line and a robust return on investment (ROI) that few franchises can rival. Join the "Green Team" revolutionizing waste reduction, saving customers money, and lowering the carbon footprint by reducing unnecessary diesel hauls to the landfill.
