Abe's Trash Service, a family-owned waste management company based in Omaha, Nebraska, has been a trusted name in the industry for over 60 years. Founded in 1955 by Abe Christensen, the company began as a simple door-to-door trash collection service to address a critical need in the community, where residents often resorted to burning their waste due to the lack of alternatives. Abe's innovative approach, which initially invited people to ‘pay what you want’, quickly built a loyal customer base who appreciated the health and environmental benefits of proper waste disposal.
As Abe's reputation grew, so did the business, expanding its operations across several areas including Omaha, Blair, Fort Calhoun, and others. The company’s commitment to quality service is underscored by its strong company culture that emphasizes punctuality and reliability—traits for which some customers claim they can set their watches by.
Today, Abe's Trash Service continues to thrive, now operated by the next generation of the Christensen family. With over 60 employees and a fleet of more than 40 trucks, the company offers a wide range of services including residential trash collection, commercial waste management, and construction debris removal. Additionally, Abe's is dedicated to sustainability, providing recycling services to both residential and commercial customers, which help reduce landfill waste and promote environmental stewardship.
Abe’s Trash Service prides itself on convenience and customer satisfaction, offering flexible service options such as curbside pickup and varying dumpster rental sizes to meet diverse customer needs. The company is recognized not just for its operational efficiency but also for its significant role in enhancing local community health and environmental conditions, making it a cornerstone of Omaha’s waste management landscape.
