Profile

Kerri Mead-Bell is the President of Anchor Disposal in Clayton, North Carolina. A second-generation “trashaholic,” she grew up in the yard immersed in all aspects of the industry—from hand-sorting recycling and sanding containers to learning to drive trucks before her feet could even reach the pedals. In 2015, she launched her own women-owned hauling company and has been a fierce advocate for small haulers and women in waste ever since. Kerri currently serves as President of the NWRA Women’s Council and Vice President of the NC Independent Waste Haulers Association. She’s passionate about empowering the next generation to carry the legacy forward—trash and all.
