Meet the team
Rick Rivera
President
Working closely with all members of his team, Rick leads Heartland Dumpster both in the office and out in the field.
Rick retired from Union Pacific Railroad after a 38 year career that began as a night janitor, and ended as the AVP of Claims.
Upon retirement, Rick decided to go back to his roots and open a family business. In 2013, Rick and son, Nick, purchased Heartland Dumpster.
In his free time, he can be found golfing with his wife, Linda, walking his giant dog, or playing with his grandchildren.
Nick Rivera
Vice President of Operations
With over a decade of experience in the business, known for precision and safety, Nick handles the majority of our commercial customers. He has built strong working relationships with his customers and has a high standard for performance.
Nick’s work ethic and personal accountability began at a young age, ultimately leading him to a highly decorated baseball career.
Nowadays, Nick is a dedicated family man. A self taught strength coach guru, he trains young athletes in the gym.
Dustin Laurent
Operations Specialist
Dustin joined our team in 2021. After 15 years of selling and building running tracks and tennis courts all over the country, he decided a career on the road was not ideal with two young kids at home.
A quick study, he has been a wonderful asset to our team. Dustin has an excellent safety record and enjoys building relationships with members all around our community.
Dustin is married to Lindsay and is devoted to his family. When he is not with Lindsay and the kids, you can find him playing competitive tennis or rocking out in the gym.
Lindsay Laurent
Customer Service Manager
That brings us to me, Lindsay. The guys often call me the “face of the company.” When you book a dumpster with us, I’m your go to gal! I have worked in customer service/construction since I was 16 years old.
I love working alongside my dad, brother and husband. I feel at home in our line of work and truly pride myself in providing the highest quality customer service to our community.
I am a lucky mother. I enjoy volunteering at my kids’ school, coaching their sports teams, and training in the gym. Oh, and I LOVE dogs.
Thank you for reading our bios and I hope to work with you soon.
