SOLID WASTE COLLECTION CONTRACTS
ABOUT US
Jeanette Jurgensen founded Bin There Consulting in 2021 after 14 years of experience in solid waste operations within municipal government. In 2023, she acquired Epicenter Services, and the two companies were formally merged in 2025.
Jeanette launched this firm to provide the kind of practical, knowledgeable support she wished had been available during her time in government. With more than 20 years of experience in solid waste collection contracting—and a deep understanding of the unique needs and expectations of municipal staff—she helps agencies navigate a wide range of challenges related to solid waste collection contracts.
Bin There Consulting is a certified Women Business Enterprise through Washington State OMWBE, registered on the Washington State MRSC roster, and certified as a King County Small Contract and Supplier.
