History

Established in 1990.

A humble beginning is an understatement. 25 years ago, with a desk and a file cabinet, Paul Cochran started Solid Waste Systems on May 9^th, 1990.

After the first year of steady growth, he hired a technician. In 1994, after a few years of leasing a couple different locations, a four-​acre facility was purchased in order to handle future growth and it continues to be the main location of SWS.

In 2011, in order to better serve an ever-​growing customer population in Western Washington, the Tacoma location was added.

We presently sell, service and rent; street, waste and sewer equipment in Washington, Idaho and Montana. We also sell and service various national accounts.

To sum up Paul’s feelings about SWS, he quotes «We have a really great customer following and our employees are the business (SWS). Our vendors allow us to do great things with their products and we are all moving forward together.»
