Community Waste Disposal appoints new president

Community Waste Disposal (CWD), which is celebrating 40 years in business in 2024, has appointed Jason A. Roemer as president, effective Oct. 25.

With Jason Roemer’s appointment to president, after 40 years as Dallas-based CWD’s first and only president, Greg A. Roemer, has taken the title of CEO.

Jason Roemer, who is Greg Roemer’s son, is a 2008 graduate of MacArthur High School in Irving, Texas, and a 2012 graduate of Oklahoma State University with a bachelor’s degree in management/marketing. He continued his education at Oklahoma State, receiving his MBA in 2014 with a focus/specialty in financial risk management.

In 2014, Jason Roemer began his career at a firm specializing in health and safety compliance for major oil and gas refineries. He joined CWD in May 2017, starting as a municipal coordinator tasked with maintaining the contracts of several of CWD‘s municipal clients and seeking new municipal opportunities. Jason Roemer learned the business rapidly, CWD CEO Greg Roemer says, earning the respect and admiration of fellow CWD teammates and client partnership personnel. One of his early successes was in 2019 when he signed and transitioned six new municipal contracts.

In October 2021, Jason Roemer was promoted to vice president with a greater focus on CWD’s operations, including safety, collection routes, vehicle maintenance, capital expenditures and business development.

Jason Roemer and his wife, Kristi, live in Dallas with their 2-year-old son, Paxton.

Greg Roemer started CWD in 1984, with two employees, one truck and zero customers. Today, the company calls itself the largest locally owned and operated solid waste hauler in the Dallas Metroplex, which Greg Roemer attributes to the dedication and hard work of the men and women who make up the CWD team.
