e Next Chapter In WASTE MANAGEMENT

William Strain/Stranco

William Strain is a St. Tammany Parish native, born in 1997 to a family that demonstrated and instilled in him a strong work ethic that continues to motivate him to this day. William graduated from St. Paul’s High School in 2015 and went on to graduate from the University of Louisiana in Lafayette with a B.S.B.A. degree in Business Management with a minor in Finance.

William returned to St. Tammany in 2020 to join his family business, Stranco Waste Management, as a sales and transportation manager, and has developed the necessary skills to lead his team to success. Even though William started working during the pandemic, which was a challenging period for many companies, his education, mindfulness and perseverance helped Stranco, an essential business, remain on top.

William has led his team to a 35% growth in sales and a 20% reduction in expenses. Because of this, he has become an integral part of the company’s growth and profitability, and he was recently recognized as one of Northshore Media’s 2022 Forty under 40.

About Stranco

Since 1998, Stranco Waste Management Company, a permitted and DEQ compliant, one-of-a-kind solid waste transfer station, has been e�ectively helping businesses and residents in St. Tammany Parish dispose of solid waste, including household garbage, construction and demolition debris and other non-hazardous trash.

Stranco added a second, more modern transfer station facility to meet the growing needs of St. Tammany’s garbage disposal, and has also taken over the operation of a transfer station facility in New Iberia. All of their facilities are equipped to handle large amounts of garbage as it is transported from businesses and homes to transfer stations and, ultimately, to the appropriated state-certified landfills. In recent years, Stranco Solid Waste has expanded to include a roll-o� division and a frontload division, allowing them to provide their customers with even more ways to dispose of their non-hazardous garbage and trash,

Stranco goes above and beyond to guarantee that its solid waste transfer stations are properly operated to ensure cost-e�ective solutions and e�ciency, resulting in monetary and environmental savings for the communities. The goal is to reduce transportation cost, labor, fuel, air emissions, energy use and vehicle maintenance.

Stranco Solid Waste has been in business since 1998 and will soon be celebrating its 25th anniversary. With William Strain’s leadership, customer service skills, management training and other abilities, Stranco hopes to have a long and profitable future.
