About Cochran Waste Company
Built to Serve the Mountain Community We Call Home
It was always my dream to build a company that gave me the opportunity to serve the people and communities of Western North Carolina. After years of hard work and prayer, Cochran Waste Company was founded in the fall of 2023.
Building a small, locally owned business has brought challenges, lessons and opportunities. The greatest reward has been the relationships we have formed with our customers and the trust they place in us.
As the company grows, our commitment remains the same: communicate honestly, do what we say we will do and treat every customer and property with respect.
Our Mission
Service Rooted in Integrity, Faith and Community
Our mission at Cochran Waste Company is to serve our community by providing dependable, high-quality service rooted in integrity while building strong relationships with our customers and team.
We strive to honor God in all we do by reflecting His love and grace through our work, and we remain committed to giving back to the community that has given so much to us.
— Hunter Cochran, Founder of Cochran Waste Company
“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good
works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”
— Matthew 5:16
