The Orlando Business Journal honored Waste Pro as the fourth largest privately-owned company in Central Florida in its annual Golden 100 list.
Waste Pro has ranked in the top five list for six consecutive years. Florida is Waste Pro's most successful market area. Throughout the southeast, Waste Pro provides their services to more than two million customers.
“It never fails to humble us when we see ourselves on the Golden 100 list," said Sean Jennings, Waste Pro president and CEO.
Jennings added that he doesn't take the ranking for granted, and that he looks forward to what is next for Waste Pro.
“To be ranked within the top five for six straight years is a reminder of how far my father took this incredible company that he created and his trust in me to continue his legacy," Jennings said.
The Orlando Business Journal also named Waste Pro as one of Central Florida’s “Fast 50” of fastest-growing companies.
