Wastebuilt began operations in 2012 and purchased two waste and recycling equipment companies, Summit, Ill.-based Stepp Equipment Co. and Winamac, Ind.-based Galfab Inc.

“Consolidated fits the model we are building and complements our existing operations,” said Greg Podell, Wastebuilt CEO. “The quality and management experience Consolidated brings to this industry is substantial.”
