What companies are contracted for White House waste management and disposal?

1. Who officially runs White House facility services: GSA’s Public Buildings Service

Responsibility for maintenance of the White House complex is assigned to the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, which hires contractors and subcontractors to perform the enormous job of building maintenance and related services—this is the formal channel through which any waste collection or disposal work would be contracted ^[1].

2. No single, publicly cited corporate hauler identified in the available reporting

Despite GSA’s role, the supplied reporting does not produce a public contract list naming specific waste-hauling firms that serve the White House; the sources instead discuss contracting policy, oversight and efforts to reduce wasteful contracting rather than naming vendors that provide trash pickup or disposal specifically for the White House ^{[5] [6] [7] [8]}.

3. Industry names appear in adjacent White House procurement reporting, but not as waste vendors

Some reporting tied to White House procurement mentions large construction and supplier firms in the context of projects or decarbonization pledges—Turner Construction, Clark Pacific and Ozinga are cited in coverage of concrete procurement for White House projects—but those citations are about materials procurement and construction partnerships, not explicit waste-management contracts at the White House complex ^[2].

4. Local “White House” references create potential confusion with municipal services

A commercially branded “WM” (Waste Management) page that appears in search results describes trash and recycling service for White House, Tennessee, which is a municipal residential service and not the Executive Residence in Washington, D.C.; relying on such search results risks conflating local municipal contractors with federal White House contractors ^{[9] [10]}.

5. Reporting of discrete incidents shows contractors do handle material removals, but doesn’t name firms

News coverage of specific episodes—such as a Facilities Dive story about a contractor likely tossing a bag from a White House window during maintenance—confirms contractors perform waste or material removal while work is ongoing, and the White House acknowledged contractor work in that instance, yet that reporting does not identify the contracting firm responsible for waste removal in that incident ^[4].

6. Transparency limits and procurement context: why a definitive vendor list is elusive

Federal administration materials and archival White House posts emphasize efforts to expand transparency around spending and to consolidate procurement to reduce waste, suggesting the pathway to identify vendors is through procurement databases (USASpending/GSA), but the provided sources do not include a queried procurement record or contract award listing that would be required to name specific waste-hauling companies serving the White House ^{[5] [8]}. OpenSecrets and industry reporting provide background on the waste-management sector’s lobbying and corporate profiles, but they do not tie particular firms to White House trash contracts in the supplied material ^{[3] [11]}.

Conclusion

Publicly available statements in these sources establish that GSA’s Public Buildings Service contracts out maintenance and related services (which would encompass waste handling) and that contractors do perform material removals at the White House, but the documents provided do not identify specific waste-management or disposal companies contracted for White House services; establishing a verified vendor list would require consulting federal contract records (e.g., GSA or USASpending procurement entries) or specific contract award notices not contained in the supplied reporting ^{[1] [5] [8]}.
