40 Years of Service

Continuously since 1969 the name JET-A-WAY, INC. ®, has meant waste disposal services within Metropolitan Boston. Over the years we have added paper and single stream recycling to our waste disposal services and we have continued to expand beyond Metropolitan Boston.

Incorporated in 1969, JET-A-WAY, INC ®, was founded with a $200 loan used to acquire a dump truck to perform odd job cleanups.

Over the first nine years the company grew. With a loan from the SBA Jet-A-Way purchased its first roll off truck. During the blizzard of 1978, the company plowed snow around the clock for three days for the City of Boston and the Army Corps of Engineers and earned over $500,000, which was immediately put back into business.

During the boom construction years of the 1980's, the company grew rapidly. In 1989 construction was started on a building to house a state-of-the-art mechanical sorting system for construction debris. In 1989, a neighboring paper recycling operation was acquired. The transfer station was commissioned in September 1990 and three months later financing for the project was obtained through a tax-free, solid waste disposal facility revenue bond from the City of Boston.

Today JET-A-WAY, INC ® continues to operate its rubbish services division while providing outstanding service to it's customers in the Greater Metropolitan Boston Area.

One Family

In early 1991, the Boston construction boom totally collapsed and marketplace prices plummeted throwing the company into a loss position that looked bleak. In late 1991, Eddie succumbed to cancer and Darlene Jeter became President and CEO. She immediately resolved to keep the company going and growing. A major cost reduction program was initiated and several significant disposal contracts were renegotiated, thereby averting a severe threat to the company's future. New equipment was purchased and the company image was updated and brightened. In 1993 the company returned to profitability and resumed growing. To provide objectivity and advice to company direction, a board of directors was formed, and the first ever “Management Advances” were held to define a new mission statement and lay out a strategic plan for the future.
