At Mountain Disposal, we believe business is about more than trucks, routes, and waste removal. It’s about people. It’s about neighbors helping neighbors. It’s about building a community where every child has opportunities, where schools are supported, and where families can come together with pride.

That’s why giving back has always been at the heart of what we do. For decades, Mountain Disposal has supported local youth, schools, and community programs across the valley. Our story is based on a simple idea: when the community thrives, we all thrive together. 

Building More Than Baseball Fields

One of the projects closest to our hearts has been supporting youth baseball in our valley. Baseball encompasses teamwork, discipline, and lifelong memories. However, for kids to play, they need a place that feels like home, and that is where Mountain Disposal stepped in.

Over the years, we’ve worked hand-in-hand with schools, parents, and volunteers to transform the local baseball fields into something the whole community can be proud of. Some of the ways we’ve helped include:

• Constructing the dugouts – Providing players with safe, shaded places to gather, prepare, and celebrate.
• Building the storage and announcer’s booth – Giving the community a proper space for equipment and game-day excitement.
• Installing sod and planting trees – Beautifying the field so it’s not just functional, but welcoming.
• Buying dirt every year – Ensuring that the playing surface is safe, level, and ready for each new season.
• Field grooming and upkeep – Our team personally tends to the field during the high school season, keeping it game-ready for players and fans alike.

Supporting High School Sports

While baseball has been a signature project, Mountain Disposal’s commitment to youth extends well beyond the diamond. We proudly sponsor all high school sports programs in the valley. Whether it’s football on Friday nights, volleyball in the gym, basketball tournaments, or track meets in the spring, we believe every athlete deserves the chance to compete with pride.

Sports teach resilience, teamwork, leadership, and determination. For many young people, athletics become a foundation for life skills they carry into adulthood. By sponsoring these programs, Mountain Disposal ensures that cost never becomes a barrier to participation and that every team has the support it needs to succeed.

Investing in Agricultural Youth: FFA and 4-H

Our valley is built on agriculture, and the future of that tradition rests with today’s young people. That’s why Mountain Disposal has always been a strong supporter of FFA (Future Farmers of America) and 4-H programs.

Both organizations give students hands-on experience in agriculture, leadership, and responsibility. From raising livestock to presenting projects at county fairs, these programs instill values of hard work, dedication, and community service, the very same values Mountain Disposal was founded on.

By donating to FFA and 4-H each year, we’re helping ensure the next generation has the tools, knowledge, and support they need to continue the agricultural legacy of our valley.

A Community-Focused Mission

When people ask us why we give back so much, the answer is simple: because this is our home. We raise our families here. We do business here. And we believe it’s our responsibility to invest in the same community that supports us.

Our guiding focus has always been on youth programs in the valley. We know that children and teenagers are the heart of the community’s future, and when they succeed, we all succeed. That’s why if there’s a youth-focused program in need, Mountain Disposal is almost always there to lend a hand.

Whether it’s a school fundraiser, a sports sponsorship, or a local community project, we believe no contribution is too small if it helps improve the lives of kids and their families.

 

The Ripple Effect of Giving Back

Community service isn’t just about the immediate impact but the ripple effect it causes. When Mountain Disposal contributes to baseball fields, high school teams, or FFA programs, the benefits extend far beyond a single season or event.

Here’s what we see every day:

• Youth Empowerment – Kids gain confidence knowing their community supports them.
• Family Connection – Parents and grandparents get to cheer from the stands of a beautiful field or auditorium, sharing in their child’s growth.
• Stronger Schools – Athletic programs and youth clubs thrive when financial pressure is lifted, allowing educators and coaches to focus on mentoring rather than fundraising.
• Community Pride – Well-maintained facilities and thriving programs bring the valley together, strengthening bonds among neighbors.

The dollars we contribute and the hours we put in are really investments in the future. 

More Than Business: A Family Commitment

Mountain Disposal is a family business, and our commitment to giving back is deeply personal. The same values that guide us at home, hard work, honesty, and care for others, guide the way we operate in the community. For us, community service isn’t an obligation but who we are.

Looking Ahead: Continuing the Tradition

While we’re proud of everything we’ve built so far, our work isn’t done. The valley is growing, and with it comes new opportunities to support young people and strengthen the community. Mountain Disposal will continue to sponsor programs, maintain facilities, and invest in projects that matter most to families in our area.

We see our role not just as a disposal and service provider, but as a company dedicated to ensuring the next generation has every chance to succeed.

Community at the Core

From baseball dugouts to FFA projects, Mountain Disposal is proud to stand beside the programs that make our valley strong.

We believe every child deserves opportunities to grow, every family deserves a community to be proud of, and every neighbor deserves to know someone has their back. That’s the spirit behind everything we do, both in business and in service.

So the next time you see young athletes competing with pride, know that Mountain Disposal is right there in the background supporting and forever investing in the future of our valley.
