Your Questions Answered
What makes SubContain different?
SubContain is transforming U.S. waste disposal with a proprietary in-ground system that replaces outdated dumpsters. Backed by Molok’s global success, it solves common issues—like odors, overflows, vandalism, and unsightly bins—while generating high-margin, recurring revenue for franchisees. SubContain delivers a clean, efficient, and environmentally compliant solution.
Why should I invest in a SubContain franchise?
SubContain is the first U.S. franchise built around a proven in-ground vertical waste system with no direct competition.
Franchisees benefit from proprietary technology that holds up to 60% more waste, uses natural compaction, and includes smart features like fill-level sensors and cloud-based service tracking. The business model is streamlined with just 3–5 SKUs, engineered install plans, preset agreements with haulers, and no need for storefronts or large staff.
Revenue comes from three streams: unit sales, recurring waste collection, and maintenance contracts—backed by long-term infrastructure deals and a 90%+ customer retention rate. With LEED/ESG-friendly solutions and full national support, SubContain gives franchisees a unique edge in a high-growth, underserved market.
What does the financial model look like?
Franchisees typically generate $12K–$100K per customer from unit installations, with each unit costing $3K–$10K and clients usually ordering 4–10 units. Ongoing service revenue ranges from $500 to $2,500 per month per location, with additional income from custom wraps, lids, sensors, and cleaning contracts.
The model is designed for strong margins—35%–45% on installations and up to 60%+ on service and maintenance. Most franchisees reach break-even within 9–12 months and stabilize at 25%–30% EBITDA. With a 3–6 month ramp-up period, SubContain offers a fast, scalable path to profitability.
Do I need waste industry experience?
No experience is required. SubContain provides 30+ hours of onboarding in sales, operations, and technical training—plus field support and proposal templates. You’ll get a dedicated Success Manager, weekly KPI check-ins during launch, and unlimited access to our support team. We also handle marketing with a branded website, lead funnels, paid ads, and print materials. Everything you need to succeed is built into the system.
Is waste disposal a growing industry?
The U.S. waste market is worth over $80 billion and growing each year. Urban development, ESG regulations, and smart infrastructure are fueling demand—while traditional dumpsters are becoming outdated. SubContain is built to lead this shift with a more scalable, future-ready waste disposal solution.
Who are my target customers?
SubContain serves a wide range of high-value clients, including municipalities (like parks, schools, and town centers), commercial sites (such as retail centers, campuses, and hospitals), and residential communities (including HOAs, apartments, and mixed-use developments). We also work directly with developers—installing early in the planning phase to build lasting relationships from the ground up.
What do you look for in a franchisee?
We look for franchisees who are sales-driven, locally connected, and comfortable managing financials. Whether you're a builder, developer, engineer, or consultant, this model rewards hands-on problem solvers who are tech-savvy and service-focused. Both semi-absentee and owner-operator paths are available, giving you flexibility in how you run and grow your business.
