Norcal Waste Systems, Inc. is an Employee Owned Company

In 1986, Norcal employees bought the corporation through an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). As an owner, each worker shares in Norcal's success. That direct relationship fuels very strong concern for customer satisfaction, and means employees constantly look for efficiencies.

Employee-owners at Norcal companies take tremendous pride in their work. Go to any Norcal company and within minutes you will find people who take extra steps to do a better job. Examples include: taking extra care to operate safely, treating customers with respect by addressing their specific needs, working as efficiently as possible, and finding ways to save the company money and increase revenue.

Norcal has also worked hard to help employees understand the value of how employee ownership can serve as a vehicle to turn hard work completed today into future financial benefits. Senior management leads the corporate communication effort by conducting "Employee Owners Road Show Meetings" each February to update employee owners throughout the company on issues affecting Norcal's business and its ESOP. Two-way communication is emphasized at each meeting, with managers encouraging employees to ask questions and share ideas. Annual ESOP account statements are also provided to employee owners at the time of these meetings.
