History &  Mission

In 1984 Wayman Pritchard purchased a single oil pump truck in Knoxville, Tennessee and began building a service-oriented business called Enterprise Oil. That business has grown to over one hundred trucks/trailers and equipment in four different locations throughout the Southeast region. Enterprise Oil serves hundreds of businesses ranging from small oil change garages to Tier 1 Automotive Groups. Today the company is still family-owned and operated, and continues to be an experienced and reliable choice for used oil disposal.

From day one, the needs of our customers have motivated our expansion and change. As we’ve grown in size, recycling used oil, Enterprise Oil has expanded to offer a diverse scope of services including zero-landfill waste solutions, cardboard/plastic/paper recycling, waste to energy options, and other sustainable environment-friendly services. We are dedicated to exceptional service, safety and environmental sustainability.

Being a family run operation allows us to be flexible in taking care of the varying needs of our customers. We have the advantage of customizing waste solutions and personalizing the services we offer. Our intent is to partner with you – custom building sustainability programs to be the best solution for all your waste management needs.

What is your impact?

In the United States alone over 250 million tons of trash is generated with less than 34% of it being recycled according to the EPA records from 2013. According to NORA (National Oil Recyclers Association), every year millions of gallons of used oil are not properly disposed of. Improperly handling used oil and failure to dispose of it safely can be detrimental to our environment and contaminate our water sources while the value in the oil’s re-use is lost. By recycling used oil in line with EPA standards, we extend its life and prevent it from contaminating the environment.
