Don's daughter Britter also spends her summer breaks from college helping out.
Recently, a third generation of the Matthews family has entered the business, with Don's son running one of the company's plants. Ray still makes regular appearances at the company's yard, either to deliver coffee and donuts, to mow the grass or to lend a hand overseeing the company's operations. His brother Mark serves as the company's vice president, while their sister Becky Bingham is the company's secretary/treasurer.ĭon says Ray is amazed at the company's growth over the years. In 1982, Don Matthews became president of Ray's Trash Service. The family incorporated the business in 1967. When Ray and Barbara founded the company four decades ago, Ray was employed as a Factory worker in the Indianapolis area and worked part-time at the newly formed family business, which focused on trash hauling.
Forty years later, this side business with only one truck has grown to include three transfer stations, a scrap yard, a 17-county service area and a workforce of 330 employees. In 1965 Ray and Barbara Matthews founded Ray's Trash Service in Clayton, Ind., just west of Indianapolis, to keep their three sons busy.
