Abe’s Trash Service is a local family owned company in Omaha, Nebraska.
Abe’s Trash Service, a family-owned waste management company with deep roots in Omaha, has earned a reputation for quality and dependability over its 60-year history.
Birth of a Homegrown Omaha Trash Service
In 1955, Abe Christensen faced a challenge in Omaha. His cornfields were dried out, and he had a family to support. He realized that there was a severe lack of trash removal or garbage companies in Omaha, and most residents were resorting to burning their waste.
To address this problem, Abe took the initiative and began a door-to-door trash collection service. This service quickly became a lifeline for the community. Initially, he was unsure about what to charge for his services, so he began with a simple mantra: “pay what you want.” Eventually, a fee system was established, creating one of the first commercial trash services in Omaha.
A Growing Reputation
Abe quickly gained a loyal customer base who appreciated the significant improvement in local air quality thanks to his waste removal efforts. Even real estate agents wanted to refer new homeowners to Abe’s diligent service. As his reputation grew, so did his business. Abe’s Trash Service expanded to serve several areas, including Omaha, Blair, Fort Calhoun, Bennington, Elkhorn, Valley, Waterloo, and Kennard. He invested in the first of many garbage trucks and his service continued to stand out among other trash companies in Omaha.
Abe hired local help, emphasizing that employees make or break a trash service. He instilled a culture of punctuality and reliability, and some customers still claim they can set their watches by the arrival of Abe’s Trash Service.
Continuing the Family Legacy
By 1959, Abe had moved his operations to Dutch Hall Road, where the company remains today. Although he retired in 1967, the Christensen family legacy continues. Through the hands of John, Abe’s son, and John’s wife, Peggy, Abe’s Trash Service has grown to over 60 employees and operates a fleet of over 40 trucks to ensure continued quality service.
