redbox+ South Pittsburgh

Mary Lou Moore worked in the accounting world for years and then was a mom who raised her family for 20 + years. Mary  Lou was born in NJ, lived for 20 years in Richmond VA and now lives in the Pittsburgh PA area. While in Richmond Mary Lou worked at a Genral Contractors office and saw invoices for dumpsters and porta johns. The day to day experience of making 2 calls, 2 invoices and never on time service was frustrating. WHen Mary Lou learned about the redbox+ franchise she decided to invest and bring to Pittsburgh. Mary Lou opned the company in memory of her brother Michael. His story is on her website and it shows why him memory is important as he was a Vietnam Veteran and fell to agent orange. Her attitude is to open each day for the customer and at the same time value her employee team. Garbage does not have to go in containers that look like garbage and it is possible to have great pricing, value and treat people as friends.Each person that has tried the compnay knows the differnece after the first job. Below if the redbox+ story. 

As a 30-year veteran in the waste industry and after servicing thousands of construction sites, founder Jeff Matejka always took note of how the portable restrooms and waste containers seemed to be randomly placed. The idea for redbox+ came to Jeff as he thought about ways to increase efficiency and convenience for customers and how he could carve-out a niche in the waste disposal marketplace.

The idea for redbox+ started with a simple hand-drawn sketch by Jeff Matejka and evolved into obtaining an exclusive u.s. Patent for the roll-off dumpster and portable restroom combination. In 2006, the redbox+ company was officially launched, and the patented product hit the market. The response was overwhelmingly positive and as a testament, redbox+ received the “Innovation of the Year” award during the 2007 International Waste Expo.

Franchising of the redbox+ concept began in 2014 and expanded in 2018 when Josh Skolnick (founder of Monster Tree Service®) bought a controlling interest. Together Jeff and Josh bring their expertise to the table to help others own, build and grow their own redbox+ businesses.
