Behind the Scenes at BIG: Local Teams Powering BIG Impact

Step onto any BIG-Brannon Industrial Group jobsite and you’ll see impressive equipment—roll-off dumpsters lining a construction site, front-load trucks weaving through city streets, scrap cranes swinging tons of metal with pinpoint accuracy.


But the real power behind those sights isn’t steel or hydraulics. It’s people. Neighbors. Teammates. Hustling on hot Texas mornings and late-night callouts alike so the communities they call home stay cleaner, safer, and more productive.


This blog pulls back the curtain on the local crews who make BIG’s promise—“Scale you can trust, hometown service you can feel”—come alive every single day.

Route Masters & Recycling Champions

Division: BVR Waste & Recycling | Service Area: Brazos Valley & surrounding counties


Before sunrise, dispatchers sync hundreds of stops so curbside carts are emptied on time and HOA streets stay spotless. Drivers like Jeramie Zelenka—armed with SMITH-System defensive-driving skills—navigate tight cul-de-sacs in 35-ft trucks without clipping a mailbox.


Behind them, mechanics keep the fleet humming and residential support reps answer “Can I throw this away?” questions with a smile. Their shared mission? Cleaner Communities Start Here.

“I love serving the city I live in. On my off-days, I see the difference our team makes.”—Jeramie Z., Front-Load Driver & four-year BIG teammate

Metal Gurus & Scale Masters

Division: Premier Metal Buyers (PMB) | Service Area: Statewide & Gulf Coast


Industrial buyers count on transparent weights and timely payments; PMB’s yard crews deliver both. Scale masters verify every inbound load within seconds, while torch cutters and crane operators choreograph tons of scrap into tidy, shippable bundles.


Account managers crunch the data so manufacturers know exactly how recycling boosts their bottom line. Their credo—Smarter Scrap. Stronger Returns.—isn’t a slogan; it’s Tuesday.


One-Stop Crew on the I-35 Corridor

Division: BIG Roll-Off & Portable Sanitation – Jarrell, TX


Growth is exploding between Austin and Waco, and so is the demand for reliable site services. Jarrell’s roll-off drivers and sanitation techs run a true one-stop shop: 40-yd dumpsters, clean restrooms, same-day swaps. Monthly “Service Showcase” videos capture them placing boxes at dawn and servicing units after dark—proof that BIG Service. Local Strength. is more than marketing.


The Unsung Clean Team

Division: Stop & Go Potties | Service Area: Central & South Texas


No event, festival, or pipeline project succeeds without sanitized facilities. Stop & Go Potties' technicians pump, scrub, and restock 1,000+ units a week, fighting Texas heat with hospital-grade disinfectant and elbow grease. Logistics coordinators layer routes so each unit is serviced before the gates open—an invisible win every visitor appreciates.


Safety, Solutions & Smiles in the Office

BIG’s field success depends on support pros like Chelsea Gaskamp—the welcoming face at Brand It Graphix (BIG’s commercial print arm). She juggles walk-ins, instant quotes, and final quality checks so every decal and dumpster sticker represents BIG pride. Meanwhile, safety managers track OSHA metrics, HR schedules upskilling sessions, and marketing tells these stories through the “Why I Love Working at BIG” video series you’ve seen lighting up your feeds.


Micro-Moments, Massive Ripple Effects

  • When Eli Perez Vargas finds a faster part-transfer method in the maintenance bay, route downtime drops across three counties.

  • A single “Where We Work on Wednesdays” post tags a new subdivision, prompting an HOA board to request BVR proposals.

  • One PMB crane operator, spotting a cracked sling before a lift, prevents a 10-ton incident and keeps the yard online.


Each win seems small up close. Collectively, they power the BIG Impact customers feel—lower landfill tonnage, higher scrap rebates, safer jobsites, and a cleaner Central Texas.

The Takeaway

Equipment moves material. People move BIG. They are the neighbors who wave from the cab, the voice that solves an urgent haul request, the innovators chasing safer, smarter ways to serve. Next time you see a BIG logo rolling down TX-21 or I-35, remember the local hands and hearts steering it—and know your community’s progress is powered by your own.
