It lists Cheshire, Waterbury, Southington, North Haven and Hamden as its service area and says it has been in business 66 years. An nhregister.com article calls it the town's garbage and recycling hauler and says it will handle the bulky waste pick-up. A 2023 customer said the driver who dropped off a dumpster followed all instructions and was respectful of the property. In a 2022 review, a homeowner whose roofing company had contracted the dumpster said Matt from AJ Waste corrected an issue with its removal. A 2022 customer said trash missed on the Friday before Labor Day was picked up the next morning. A 2025 customer said an inexperienced driver scraped a new driveway and left the dumpster balanced with one wheel in the air, and a week later nothing had been done. A 2025 reviewer wrote that a dumpster delivery damaged driveway stones and that the company denied it. A 2025 customer said dumpster drop-off and pick-up were fine but the woman answering the phones was rude. A 2026 customer said the garbage men were not emptying cans and moved cans behind their cars. A newstimes.com article reports that Wallinger, the owner and operator of AJ Waste Systems, pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. **Strengths:** - A careful drop-off — a 2023 customer said the driver followed all instructions - A fixed removal issue — a 2022 customer said Matt corrected it **Concerns:** - Driveway damage — a 2025 customer said a driver scraped a new driveway - Owner's guilty plea — a newstimes.com article reports a federal RICO conspiracy plea - Missed cans — a 2026 customer said the garbage men were not emptying cans - Phone manner — a 2025 customer said the woman answering was rude ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Described in local news as a Cheshire carting company _(confidence: medium)_ - [Local News](https://www.newstimes.com/news/article/another-defendent-in-trash-case-pleads-guilty-67112.php) — “newstimes.com — Wallinger, 42, is the owner and operator of AJ Waste Systems, a Cheshire carting company.
