Get to Know Us.
Family-Owned. Customer-Focused.
Founded in 2019, Cook’s Port-A-Can was built from decades of real-world trucking experience. With over 30 years of safe, professional driving behind us, we’ve developed a true understanding of what dependable service looks like. Our background in heavy hauling gives us the skill and expertise to handle jobs of every size — from small residential cleanups to large-scale construction and demolition projects. Every delivery reflects the same commitment to safety, efficiency, and customer satisfaction that’s defined our work from day one.
Clean Equipment. Safer Jobs. Better Results.
Every dumpster is cleaned before delivery and every piece of equipment is inspected for safety. Our CDL-certified drivers use a precision hook-lift system that allows us to set dumpsters exactly where others can’t — even in tight residential spaces. We’re committed to keeping your property protected and your project running smoothly.
Family Values. Real Commitment.
We’ve grown from serving just a few counties to covering much of western North Carolina, but we’ve kept the personal touch that got us here. When you call Cook’s, you’re speaking directly with our family — not a call center or franchise. We believe in honest communication, same-day service whenever possible, and treating every customer like a neighbor.
Where Experience Meets Dedication.
Cook’s Port-A-Can is led by CEO Elmer Cook and his sons Jonah, Elijah, and Isaiah. Together, they bring over three decades of trucking and hauling experience to every project. What started in a handful of counties has grown steadily over the years, now serving customers across a wide stretch of North Carolina.
For the Cooks, this business isn’t about volume — it’s about relationships. They believe hard work, honesty, and reliable service still mean something, and that’s the standard they bring to every customer, every time.
