VaVia, the small-haul waste disposal franchise, sold 20 units in 2021 and opened a total of five locations. The brand, which uses proprietary technology to secure dumpster bookings for clients, is riding that momentum to bring on 10 new franchise partners in 2022.
VaVia (Italian for “it goes away”) has made a name for itself by introducing white-glove service to a traditionally ugly industry. By using smaller trucks and containers that allow contractors to navigate tight spaces, the brand has also carved out a niche as the most nimble and accessible brand in the $60 billion industry.
“I saw an opportunity to provide technology for a smart, easy and polished disposal solution for contractors and residential customers,” said Phillip Nappi, President and Co-Founder of VaVia. “We were able to bring on Tim Wells, John Crawford, Mike Ampe and Overton Thompson to join the team, and together we’ve created the most polished and effective service in the waste-disposal industry.”
VaVia’s utilization of cutting-edge technology has also played a critical role in making the brand a nationwide leader in the small-haul disposal business. The brand’s technology allows customers to order dumpsters and schedule for delivery and pick-up, including a morning reminder to let contractors know that the dumpster is on its way.
“There is a huge lack of professionalism and sophistication in the waste management space,” Nappi said. “So many contractors have been burned by dumpster companies, so our tech-forward approach really resonates with contractors because they’ve dealt with companies that weren’t customer-centric like us.”
