About us

McLaughlin Waste Equipment is a family-owned business. We strive on providing a quality product and whatever the customer wants. We build a variety of waste equipment including Roll Off Boxes, Front Load Container, Rear Load Containers, Roll Dumps, Scrap Bins, and other Steel Containers. Danny McLaughlin and Eliseo Alatorre started up their first company McLaughlin Refuse Equipment in 1995. They are now back at it again and now we are McLaughlin Waste Equipment. They have been successful because they focus in on making the customer happy; by providing quality, dependability and competitive pricing.

Our focus to serve and make customers happy, has led us to partner with PRT for replacement parts. McLaughlin can offer you a full line of parts including Lids, Bottoms, Commercial & Roll Off Container Parts and Compactor Components.
