episode Strong Straps & Startup Grit—with Blazer Brand cover

Strong Straps & Startup Grit—with Blazer Brand

In Episode 6 of the Waste Nexus podcast, hosts Brian and Charlie Dolan sit down with Justin and Quentin Blazer, two brothers from Pittsburgh who turned their late father's idea into a real product on the shelves of Ace Hardware stores nationwide. Blazer Brand makes the Strong Strap, a lid-locking bungee latch for outdoor waste containers, and they've spent nearly a decade figuring out injection molding, US-based manufacturing, and how to get haulers to care. The conversation covers everything from the raccoon that started it all, to the new auto-release notch that finally makes the product viable for residential collection routes. They get into the hard parts of building a physical product — finding manufacturers willing to work at entry-level volumes, engineering a self-tapping bolt that didn't cost $10 a unit, and surviving COVID-era supply chain chaos by moving production entirely to the US. A fun, grounded conversation amongst brothers about entrepreneurship and Pittsburgh pride.

Compactor Sales & Custom Solutions: Building a Family Business in Waste Equipment

In this episode of the Waste Nexus podcast, we sit down with Eric Wengryniuk of Reddy Equipment [https://www.reddyequip.com/], an Ohio-based company selling, renting, and servicing trash compactors and balers across the Midwest and beyond. Eric shares how Reddy got its start with a part-time fireman selling compactors on the side, how his family took the reins in 1996, and how he and his brother bought the business from their parents just last year. We dig into what it actually takes to sell compactors the right way — starting with the customer's pain points, not the price tag — and swap stories about everything from Secret Service-level scrutiny at a political convention to auger fires sparked by discarded vape batteries. Eric also shares his take on how technology is raising the intelligence of the waste industry, why behavior change is still the hardest part of any equipment install, and why people who get into this business tend to stay for life.

From Route Books to Real-Time Sensors: Lessons from 36 Years in Waste

In this episode of Waste Nexus, we sit down with Mike Nelson, a 36-year waste industry veteran who started as a shop helper and driver in 1989—back when you were handed a route book, a highlighted map, and told not to come back until the route was done. Mike shares stories from the street (including learning how to dump a truck from a competitor), the realities of customer service in waste, and the kind of “you can’t make this up” moments every hauler has seen We also dig into how technology is reshaping operations: cameras, sensors, and the growing demand for tilt-sensor verification that reduces disputes, speeds up customer support, and keeps everyone honest. Plus: a lightning round featuring the dream of automated dinner.

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
Bra app. Oversiktlig og ryddig. MYE bra innhold⭐️⭐️⭐️
