We take pride in delivering dependable products, custom solutions, and competitive pricing to support a wide range of commercial and industrial operations.
Originally founded in 1995 as McLaughlin Refuse Equipment by Danny McLaughlin and Eliseo Alatorre, the company built a strong reputation for quality workmanship and customer-focused service. Today, McLaughlin Waste Equipment continues that legacy with the same commitment to reliability, integrity, and customer satisfaction.
We manufacture a variety of waste equipment, including roll-off boxes, front load containers, rear load containers, roll dumps, scrap bins, and other steel container solutions.
Our commitment to serving our customers has also led us to partner with PRT, allowing us to offer a full line of replacement parts, including lids, bottoms, commercial and roll-off container components, and compactor parts—helping ensure long-lasting performance and minimal downtime.
