Founded in June 2019, Heartland Disposal and Recycling has grown rapidly into a leading provider of waste management and site services in Central Alberta.

Farhad Bahrami drives Heartland.

He entered the industry in 2017 and founded Heartland, starting in 2019 with a single truck and 18 bins. Heartland has expanded exponentially since then because his simple formula for success is: get customers what they need, when they need it, no matter what.

This philosophy of always saying “yes” to customer needs is the backbone of Heartland’s growth, supported by strategic acquisitions that have diversified and expanded our services to meet the needs of clients like Ledcor, Amazon, and the City of Edmonton.

Key company highlights include the March 2020 purchase of Pro Binz, which brought on board our lead operator, Terry Corbeil, whose extensive industry experience has been a major factor in Heartland’s continued growth and success.

In 2021, the company acquired Solvex Enterprises, broadening its portable toilet offerings and adding valuable land assets.

In 2022, Michelle Summers joined as our Operations Manager and brought a wealth of industry knowledge to the Heartland management team.

In 2023, we purchased 220 Junk’s assets, further expanding our bin inventory and service capabilities. This allowed Heartland to include two different types of bin services: hook lift bins and cable lift bins.
