Our Vision
At Binova we come from a diverse, yet entrepreneurial backgrounds. From the moment the concept scratched on the back of a napkin and Binova was formed in 2017, – we have been driven and united by a single passion: the solid waste industry is desperate for leadership, technology, and above all – new innovation.
Binova is a company of firsts…the first ever self-latching automatic dumpster lock; the first ever subsurface waste containment system collected with a standard garbage truck in America, the first urban waste-consolidation program, the first sanitation sprayer system designed specifically for solid waste and urban spaces, the first truly-safe disinfectant for public spaces, and so much more.
Our Mission is simple, yet powerful…We Will Transform The Way The World Handles Waste. It is constantly at the forefront of our minds, what we think about when we sleep, what we dream about in our spare time, what we build when creative juices are flowing, what we fantasize in strategy sessions, and most importantly….what we all believe will change the world.

Our Roots
Our story, like so many others, begins with humble roots and a visionary named Joe Kreitzer… a man that believed that the dumpster industry needed real change.
In 2010, Mr. Kreitzer built and patented the first-ever self-latching automatic dumpster lock, selling them to forward-thinking haulers across the Southeast. Mean, rugged, and protective, this early forerunner would ultimately become known as the PitBUL Lock. As our first Binova innovation, it soon become the industry standard for dumpster protection.
Beginning with the PitBUL, Binova has grown and evolved rapidly. The more we learn, the more we realize that the industry has stagnated for over seven decades and needs to come into the new, digital age. In 2019, Binova launched the EnviroBIN Subsurface Waste Container – a smart, attractive, and far more sanitary solution to the traditional steel box dumpster. Today, it remains our flagship product, but is complemented by almost a dozen new innovations, some recently introduced, and many still in development.
As solid waste becomes a bigger challenge on planet Earth, Binova is rising to meet that challenge. Join us as we pursue our mission to help manage waste in a safer, cleaner, and more attractive way.
