Who buys here
The buyer at this brand

The vendor opportunity at Heavyweight Waste
Heavyweight Waste runs 50 US units (34 franchised, 16 company-owned) in the home-services segment, headquartered in Indiana and part of the Smash My Trash family of brands. The 2026 FDD carries a financial performance representation, with an 8% royalty and a 10-year initial term. Unit count grew 142.9% year over year — one of the fastest-growing brands in this batch — and Item 8 already requires franchisees to buy Computer System software from the franchisor.
Who controls software purchasing
Item 2 names Justin Haskin as President and Chief Executive Officer, Brian Reeve as Chief Financial Officer, Chuck Adams as Chief Revenue Officer, Pavel Nejezchleb as Chief Operating Officer, and Andrea Klein as Director of Marketing. Cardinal Health also appears in Item 2, named without being required. Heavyweight Waste is part of Smash My Trash. The operator footprint covers 11 mapped operators across 11 located units, none multi-unit, concentrated in Ohio (2) and Delaware, South Carolina, Texas and Florida (1 each) — a system where the corporate team above, not multi-unit operators, sets buying rules.
Tech named in the FDD, and what is actually required
HubSpot and Vonigo both appear in Item 6, and Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and TikTok appear in Item 11 — all named without being required. The FDD requires none of the systems it names, though Item 8 does require franchisees to buy certain Computer System components directly from the franchisor.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Item 8 sets an approved-supplier model: franchisees must purchase or lease Operating Assets and other products or services to System Standards, and where required, only from franchisor-designated or approved suppliers or distributors — which may be limited to the franchisor or its affiliates. That includes certain Computer System components, specifically software, email services and truck video and camera systems, bought directly from the franchisor. Item 17 lets franchisees renew for a 5-year term if they have complied with their obligations, give written notice 12 to 15 months before the term ends, have renovated and remodeled the business and parking locations, and otherwise meet then-current requirements for new franchisees. With 142.9% year-over-year growth and software already running through the franchisor, this is a system actively building out its technology stack.
