With a devoted team lead, owned and operated by Roddie Matherne, Chris Lapeyre, Corey Callais, Nicholas Callais and Harold Callais — who combined have over 100 years of waste-industry experience — Pelican Waste & Debris is an environmentally-conscious local company that’s committed to keeping Louisiana clean.
“Pelican Waste & Debris is your local company. We not only work here, we live here and understand the unique challenges that face our region. Our commitment to our communities, customers and love for Louisiana keeps us motivated,” reads a statement on the company’s website, pelicanwaste.net. “We have set the highest standards for environmental protection, community involvement and customer satisfaction. We offer environmentally responsible disposal services, while helping to ensure the future of Louisiana for generations to come.”
The waste and debris dedicated professionals at Pelican Waste are capable of handling commercial and residential waste services.
“We work together as a team with our employees, and we work together well,” Matherne shared. “We also make sure to treat them well and promote from within whenever we can.”
For commercial services, Pelican Waste experts are trained to handle high-quality compactors, front load containers and roll off containers and handle special waste. Curbside pickup, yard waste, special events, recycling, dumpster rentals and bulk waste are the services they offer for residential customers.
Established in 2013, Pelican Waste received national recognition when in 2018 it was ranked the 318th fastest-growing company in the United States and took the No.1 spot for Louisiana in rankings done by Inc. 5000.
Pelican Waste is well-acclaimed locally as well. In fact, the Terrebonne Parish Council unanimously approved a $5.2 million contract with them in April of this year. “That meant a lot for the company,” Matherne noted. “It gave the company a 30 percent growth.”
They also have contracts with the city of Thibodaux, St. Charles, St. Martin and St. Bernard Parishes, among other Louisiana parishes.
“I believe us being a local company that provides great service to the local area for a reasonable price makes us standout,” said Matherne. •
