About Mid-Atlantic Waste Systems . . .

Rich Hood

Mid-Atlantic Waste Systems was founded in 1985 by Rich Hood, working out of a bedroom transformed into a day-time office in Centreville, Maryland. He and his wife, his first office manager and bookkeeper, soon outgrew their modest surroundings and moved the business to Easton in 1988.

MAWS further expanded to include a small rental property in Hyattsville, MD. In 1993 we moved from Hyattsville and opened the Clinton, MD location. We added a facility in Ashland, VA (later moved to Chesapeake, VA) and Glen Burnie, MD (later moved to Baltimore, MD). Today we have six (6) full service facilities, including the most recent additions in Bedford, VA and Chester, PA.


The Vision

Rich envisioned a company that would offer its customers superior quality in products, service, and parts. From his vision, the company has grown to over 110 employees in six offices. The company exists not just to make a sale but to give each customer outstanding quality, value, service, and guaranteed satisfaction.

The foundation of our success is quality products. Mid-Atlantic Waste Systems is a distributor for top manufacturers in the waste handling industry including:
