American Waste Control is the product of more than 40 years in the waste collection business. Since our founding in 1970 by visionary Kenneth Burkett, we’ve built our company on serving the Tulsa community and providing the best in waste management solutions, first with residential services in the early 70’s and then in the arena of commercial collection services that have become the envy of Oklahoma. In 1987, we founded Tulsa Recycle and Transfer (TRT) with the goal of saving our natural resources and making a positive impact on the environment. We opened American Environmental Landfill (AEL) in 2000 with a similar purpose in mind—but with the aim of also raising a new standard in the industry when it comes to the efficiency and cleanliness of waste disposal. Here's why you should do business with American Waste Control: 1. We are always there when you need us. Ontime delivery of the best roll off dumpsters, front load dumpsters, rear load dumpsters, recycling services, and even curbside pick up 2. Our recycling programs help you lower waste costs and positively impact the environment. 3. Only the best rates, guaranteed. 4. Every year we donate more than $200,000 to organizations that help our community.

What a gift the sunrise was this morning at American Waste Control’s renewable energy landfill. Like Kenny says, “Life is good.” #thankful
Throwing it back to when American Waste Control donated this dumpster for the renovation of The Outsiders House Museum! 🏚️✨ Little did we know that years later we’d be presenting the 2024 Tulsa Christmas Parade in its honor. From supporting the restoration of this iconic Tulsa landmark to celebrating its legacy, we’re proud to be part of this journey! Shout out to Grand Marshal Danny O'Connor 🍀 And meet Kelly, our Dispatch Manager—one of our team members who embodies the spirit of The Outsiders! 🖤✨ Her STAY GOLD tattoo shows her love for the classic story. Our employees are true Greasers at heart!🎄💚 DO YOU HAVE AN OUTSIDERS MEMORY YOU CAN SHARE WITH US?

Safety meeting this morning at our landfill. One of the key takeaways was reminding our team that safety can’t just be mandated - it must become a part of who you are. Must be part of your culture. Let’s be known as a place where everyone goes home at night to their family. Stay safe out there in the waste industry and everywhere today.

Struggling with spills on hauls? Container Dogs secure your loads, cut cleanup time, and keep your routes running smooth.
CLIENT SPOTLIGHT 💡 Why American Waste Control is a leader in waste management: It’s not just about picking up trash—it’s about top-tier customer service. When I visited a few months ago, I experienced that famous southern hospitality firsthand, and it’s clear that’s what makes them stand out. They deliver on time, provide the best rates, and truly care about their community, donating hundreds of thousands each year to local causes 😲. Special shoutout to Mike Self, who’s been instrumental in helping us share the success of Container Dogs. With over 60 sets installed in their fleet, American Waste Control has slashed cleanup times from 15-20 minutes to just 2-5 minutes per pull. That saves them over $35,000 a year on just one client —and their team keeps growing every month because of it. If you want to see how American Waste Control’s commitment to service and efficiency sets the bar in our industry, they’re the ones to watch.
