365: Caleb Hannon - Founder of Lake Waste

Jeff welcomes entrepreneur Caleb Hannon, founder of Lake Waste, for a candid look at how a hospitality mindset is reshaping residential and short-term rental trash service around Lake Norman. 

Caleb shares his winding path from marketing/hospitality/sports into “the trash business,” why he built a concierge-style, full-service pickup model for vacation homes, and how that expanded into reliable neighborhood service as legacy providers are exiting. 

They talk about community, word-of-mouth growth, partnerships for septic, junk removal, and portables, and what’s next—including a push toward recycling options.
