Driveway-Safe Dumpster Franchise
MobileDumps brings flat-rate mobile dumpster trailers to 65+ cities through independent owners running protected local territories.
Brand overview
MobileDumps was founded in 2018 by Cam Morrison in Richmond, Virginia, starting with a single truck and one trailer. The idea came from a clear gap between junk-removal services and traditional heavy roll-off dumpsters — homeowners and small contractors needed something simpler, cleaner, and permit-free. The brand went national in 2019, reached three cities by 2020, and formally launched franchising in 2022. Today, MobileDumps operates in 65+ cities nationwide through independent franchisees who deliver driveway-safe 14-yard mobile dumpster trailers with flat-rate pricing and same-day availability.

Why choose Mobiledumps

The business model has been refined since 2018 across 65+ cities and comes with supplier lists, pricing structures, standard operating procedures, a full marketing playbook, and dispatch software. Industry-best tech and marketing support includes booking software, SEO and Google Ads management, a local-listings program, and inbound lead routing — all included.

Every franchisee gets a 100% protected territory with no internal MobileDumps competition, and the $30K franchise fee is among the lowest in the dumpster industry.

Training & support
MobileDumps provides complete training on operations, equipment, and customer service — most successful franchisees come from outside the waste industry with no prior hauling experience. Every owner receives the full supplier list, pricing structure, SOPs, marketing playbook, and dispatch software. Ongoing support after launch covers marketing execution including lead generation, SEO, and paid ads, plus operational guidance, equipment maintenance partnerships, and access to group buying power.
Ideal candidate
MobileDumps was built by an operator, for operators. The ideal franchisee brings local hustle and energy to run a locally owned and operated territory. No waste or hauling background is needed — the most successful owners have come from entirely different industries. What matters is a willingness to serve customers well, manage a local service business hands-on, and grow repeat relationships with homeowners and contractors in a protected market.
If you are ready to bring a smarter dumpster alternative to your town, MobileDumps offers a low-cost, high-support path into a recession-resilient service category. Request franchise information to review the opportunity, territory availability, and next steps with the MobileDumps team.
