Dan Agajanian (CEO) has been involved in the recycling and disposal business for a long time. After graduating with a Master of Arts degree in Biology from the University of California Riverside, he went to work at Angelus Hudson Inc., a small family owned business. Through great customer service and a “can do” attitude he took the company from a small 5 truck operation and expanded it into a 25 vehicle fleet with over 40 employees. In 1996, Angelus Hudson Inc. was bought out by a National Company, where he worked for them for three years.
After his time with Angelus Hudson Inc., he knew that he wanted to make the customer service side of the business a more pleasurable experience. Some of the main principals of the business model was to focus on the construction and commercial roll off market and provide top notch customer service.
Dan Agajanian founded Direct Disposal in 1999 with one truck and 10 roll off dumpsters. He drove the truck and his wife, Tammy did all of the marketing, sales, and bookkeeping. Since then, Direct Disposal has grown to 20 employees and the focus remains on the construction and demolition recycling market and the commercial roll off market.
