The Getchell Companies
Waste Industry Insurance Program · New England

Coverage built for the people who haul New England's waste.

One program for the whole operation: trucks, drivers, yards, transfer stations and the pollution exposure that comes with all of it. Whether you run one truck or a hundred, ask about it by email or phone.

Coverage matrix

Every line the operation needs, on one program.

Waste and recycling risk doesn't stop at the truck. The program is written so the pieces fit together, without gaps between carriers and without paying twice for the same exposure.

Line
Coverage
What it protects
AUTO

Commercial auto

Liability and physical damage for packers, roll-off trucks, transfer trailers and service vehicles, with hired and non-owned auto where needed.

WC

Workers' compensation

Drivers, helpers, yard and scale-house staff, mechanics and sorters, with return-to-work support built in.

GL

General liability

Premises and operations exposure at customer sites, your yard and your transfer station, including container placement and pickup.

PROP

Property

Buildings, scales, balers, compactors, loaders and containers, plus business income if a fire or breakdown stops the flow.

POLL

Pollution liability

Three exposures, three answers: site pollution for owned facilities, contractors pollution for work at customer locations, and transportation pollution for loads in transit.

UMB

Umbrella

Excess limits over auto, general liability and employers liability, sized to the contracts municipalities and generators actually require.

Operations we write

From the curb to the landfill.

The program covers the full chain of custody. Most accounts run more than one of these, and the underwriting is built for that.

Roll-off & container

Hook-lift and cable units, dumpster fleets, temporary and permanent placements.

Curbside collection

Residential and commercial routes, automated side-loaders, rear-loaders and municipal contracts.

Transfer stations

Tipping floors, scale houses, top-load and walking-floor transfer to disposal.

Landfill services

Site operations, leachate and gas handling, cover placement and long-haul disposal.

Recycling & MRFs

Single-stream and source-separated processing, baling, metals and C&D recovery.

MSW & C&D trucking

Transfer trailers, walking floors and dump trailers running to regional disposal sites.

Why The Getchell Companies

Thirty years on the route with New England haulers.

We've placed coverage for some of the largest waste and recycling companies in the country, and for one-truck operators down the road from us. The approach is the same either way.

Carriers that know the industry

Every carrier partner in the program has to clear strict financial standards and bring the specific coverages and claims resources that waste and recycling risks demand. No generalist paper.

Risk management that lowers premium

The program pairs insurance with safety and loss-control work. When a risk can be reduced or removed, you insure less of it, and your renewals show it.

The most market access in the Northeast

As an independent agency with unusually broad carrier appointments, we can match each account to the right market instead of forcing every hauler into one box.

How it works
  1. Reach out

    Email waste@getchellcompanies.com or call 978-897-7773 and ask about the Waste Industry Insurance Program. A short conversation about your fleet, routes and facilities is all we need to start.

  2. We review the operation

    We look at current policies, loss runs, contracts and the exposures a generic program tends to miss, and identify where risk can be reduced before it's priced.

  3. You get a program, not a quote stack

    One coordinated proposal across auto, workers' comp, liability, property, pollution and umbrella, with the carriers and limits explained in plain terms.
