EnviroDispose: ‘TFCU helped build our business’
For Dustin Watson, entrepreneurship wasn’t always the plan. In fact, his career started in a very different place — working as a tax accountant. But over time, he saw an opportunity to build something of his own.
A leap into business ownership
Drawn to the hands-on, fast-paced nature of business ownership, he launched EnviroDispose. The dumpster rental and waste disposal company launched in late 2019 — just months before the uncertainty of 2020.
“It was scary,” he admits. “You’re stepping into something new, taking on risk — but I had the background and the work ethic to go for it.”
That leap paid off in an unexpected way.
Growth fueled by timing and
demand
While many businesses struggled during COVID-19, EnviroDispose saw demand surge. With people spending more time at home, projects — from cleanouts to remodels — skyrocketed. Orders poured in. “We were in the right place at the right time,” Watson says. “Boxes were going out constantly.”
That early momentum helped the company scale quickly. Today, EnviroDispose operates a fleet of 14 trucks and maintains more than 1,000 roll-off containers — making it one of the largest independent providers in the Oklahoma City metro.
A relationship built on trust
Watson credits much of that success to his long-standing relationship with his banker at TFCU. “They trust me, and I trust them,” he explains. “That makes everything easier.”
From equipment to infrastructure, TFCU has played a key role in EnviroDispose’s continued growth. “Dustin is a very good communicator,” says James Presley, TFCU Sr. Commercial Loan Officer. “He understands not only his industry (and) what it takes to be successful in the day-to-day operations, but he also understands the financial aspect of running a business.”
