Bennett's Waste Disposal Bennett's waste disposal Inc. has been serving customers in the Halton Hills area since 1991. Established originally as a rural household waste service they now have a �ourishing weekly commercial bin service in and around the Halton area. Mark Bennett, V.P. operations, spent a number of years in the waste business prior to entering into this venture. Mark's business is truly a family affair: in addition to his father Colin, he also works with his Mother and sister. Ritchie, Of�ce Manager, Alastair, David and Fulton round up the operations crew. "Working with my family is fantastic" Mark says" We work together all week but still socialize on weekends. They offer a personal service rarely seen in today's fast paced world. If you forget to put your garbage out they will wait or go to the door. Miss a couple of weeks and the of�ce will call to see if everything is o.k. Their drivers will always slow down to pass dog walkers, hikers and cyclists on the rural roads. "We have known many of our clients for 20 years "Mark smiles " and they often call the of�ce just to chat to myMom or stop us on route to discuss any issues they may have, or just to say Hi". It may take a little longer to provide this friendly and personalized approach but in the long run it pays off with phone calls and letters thanking us for just doing our job". Remember our motto "Your Garbage is our bread and butter".
