Client Success Story

The Dumpster Diva of CNY

Cathie Perry already had a successful excavation business when she noticed a need in the market for a professional, clean, and reliable dumpster company.

Cathie contacted the Onondaga SBDC in early 2018 and was assisted in developing a business plan and financial projections for her new companion dumpster business.

During the planning process she created a new entity, which she named 'Dumpster Diva,' that features her signature purple dumpsters.
