Joshua Roman and American AF Dumpsters

Josh founded American AF Dumpsters in 2020 while living in Waxahachie, seizing on an opportunity he believed would hold up even during an economic downturn. He started with one trailer-hitched dumpster and a Craigslist ad. As the region’s construction and renovation boom accelerated, he reinvested and grew—adding trucks, dumpsters, and employees. By distinguishing his company from large national competitors through responsive service, reliability, and local relationships, he carved out a foothold in a competitive market. In 2024, he relocated the company’s offices to Waxahachie, where it remains a locally owned and operated small business.

American AF Dumpsters provides a private service: it rents temporary, roll-off dumpsters that are delivered to construction and renovation projects on private property and hauls them away on an as-filled basis for the life of the project.
