Maria Rios Biography

Maria Rios is the proud president and CEO of Nation Waste, Inc., one of the first female Hispanic owned waste removal company in the United States. Maria’s dedication to providing the highest caliber of customer service has allowed Nation Waste, Inc. to become one of Houston’s largest minority owned waste removal companies.

Maria received a BA from the University of Houston in 1997. While attending university Maria worked for a large waste removal company. Maria saw an opportunity when she realized there will always be waste and it will need to be removed. She was inspired to remain in the waste removal industry after completing her degree. Maria saw a niche in the waste removal industry for a company to thrive by relentlessly focusing on the highest caliber customer service while offering both waste removal and recycling. Upon graduation Maria purchased two trucks and Nation Waste, Inc. was born.

As Nation Waste, Inc. has grown Maria has also been able to incorporate recycling allowing her to achieve yet another goal, succeeding in business while, “Working For The Environment.” Maria is proud to serve the entire Houston business community from the Mom and Pop corner store to Fortune 500 companies.

Maria Rios commitment to the community is also demonstrated by her support of Aldine Little League, the Harris County Sherriff’s Department, the Girl Scouts of America, ESL literacy, women’s retreat scholarships, and other organizations. She is an active member of the Houston Minority Supplier Development Council and serves as an Executive Board member of the Houston Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. Maria was appointed by the mayor to the City of Houston Office of Business Opportunity Advisory Board.

Maria exemplifies a self-made woman executive and business owner. While becoming a highly successful business owner in an ultracompetitive, male-dominated industry Maria not only maintains her own success but more importantly encourages others to reach for the sky and achieve their dreams as well.

Maria Rios emigrated from El Salvador with her parents as a child, pursued an education, founded a successful business, has received an award from the President of The United States and is truly living the American Dream.
