Meet the Stopp Family
Three generations have kept Cherokee and Adair County's trash trucks rolling. Same family, same trucks, same commitment to showing up when we say we will.
One family.
One handshake.
Bill started this service decades ago with one truck and a short list of neighbors who needed their trash hauled. He wasn't trying to build an empire. He just noticed nobody in Cherokee County was doing the job right, so he decided to do it himself.
Today his son Jason runs the company, and Jason's sons Colton and Jacob are already driving routes. Jason's wife Sonya keeps billing, scheduling, and the cart inventory moving behind the scenes.
The route grew the way small-town businesses do, one handshake at a time. A neighbor would mention Bill's name to a cousin. A cousin would call a friend. Three decades later we're still doing the same job the same way: show up when we say we will, remember the customer's name, do the work right.
The faces on your route.
Bill
The original. Bought the first truck, built the first route, and put his name on the door. Started with a handful of neighbors who needed their trash hauled and just kept showing up until the route filled itself.
Jason
Grew up on the route, took it over from his dad, and runs the company day-to-day. If you call the business line, Jason is usually the voice that picks up. And if he's not the one pulling up to your curb that week, one of his sons is.
Sonya
Keeps the whole operation running behind the scenes: billing, scheduling, new customer sign-ups, and the cart inventory. If you've ever gotten a fresh poly cart rolled up your driveway, there's a good chance Sonya made it happen.
Colton
Jason and Sonya's son. Runs his own route most days of the week and handles the mechanic work that keeps the truck fleet rolling. When you're the one fixing the truck, you tend to keep it running right.
Jacob
Jason's other son. Drives a route full-time and knows every gate, dog, and tricky driveway on his side of the county. The third generation at the wheel.
Skylar & Shyanna
The next generation already in the family photos, pictured here with their grandfather Bill. The Stopp family doesn't really end. It just keeps adding more people to the crew.
Same name. Same trucks. Same promise.
When we say Bill's is family-owned, we mean it. Bill's son signs the checks. Bill's grandsons drive the trucks. That's what shows up at your curb every week.
