Roadrunner
San Francisco, California, US
Roadrunner provides AI-powered, fully-managed commercial waste and recycling services to over 12,000 U.S. customer locations, serving major enterprises including Exxon Mobil, McDonald's, and Apple.
Roadrunner, founded in 2014, has established itself as a formidable force in commercial waste and recycling by building a technology-first platform that addresses one of the most overlooked cost centers for enterprises. The company's approach - combining artificial intelligence and data-driven logistics with fully-managed services - has attracted a client roster that reads like a Fortune 500 directory, including Exxon Mobil, McDonald's, DHL, Apple, CBRE, and Marriott International. Backed by $150M in investor funding, Roadrunner currently serves over 12,000 customer locations across the United States.
The company's technical edge is defined by two proprietary systems. Waste Metering™ leverages data to enable businesses to achieve an average of 10–20% savings on monthly waste bills, while CleanStream™ Recycling is designed to significantly increase landfill diversion rates. These products sit at the intersection of waste management technology, AI, and logistics optimization - domains that demand strong engineering and analytical talent.
Roadrunner's workplace credentials are notable. The company has been recognized as a Pittsburgh Business Times Best Place to Work, earned SEAL Business Sustainability Awards, and was named by Business Insider as the number one hottest enterprise start-up. Headquartered in Pittsburgh, the company operates across the United States within the waste management, recycling, and commercial services sectors.
