One man’s trash is another
man’s livelihood

im Drillette, president of GTR, Inc., sat down with
Parker County Today to discuss his business and the
relationship he has with Mitch Bedinger and Interface
Financial.
Since we weren’t quite sure, Drillette described what
GTR, Inc. does as a business. “We are the waste and
recycling brokerage business, so, in essence, we buy and
sell trash and recycling.”
Referred to Bedinger and Interface Financial by his
banker, Drillette gave us a run down on what has been
happening between GTR and Interface Financial. “This
particular business has been in business for nearly five
years,” Drillette said. “The growth of the business has been
pretty dramatic over the past year, year and a half.”

This growth was attributed to the inclusion of Mitch
Bedinger with Interface Financial.
“Basically, the way his company works is they advance
money for services that we have already rendered to the
customers that pay us,” he explained. “So we go buy a
load of cardboard and we sell it to paper mill ‘X’ and when
we do that, we’re waiting for the money, and the people
that we buy the material from would like to have their
money potentially today or tomorrow — quick. Mitch’s
company basically allows you to collect that receivable,
if you will, and they advance money on that particular
receivable which allows us to grow our business so we
can pay our customers and suppliers in a manner that’s
befitting them to keep shipping us more material.”
