DARLENE JETTER: (Voiceover) Take risks. We were willing to take whatever savings we had and put it at risk and just invest in the business and try to make it work and see what happens after that.

HATTIE: (Voiceover) Darlene Jetter is the owner of Boston based Jet-A-Way. The company is a full service recycling and waste disposal firm offering waste collection services, containerized removal of construction debris and paper recycling.

DARLENE: (Voiceover) The idea then was to move forward away from the dump trucks, and that was a new thing for us.

HATTIE: But to get the funding for the roll off. I've seen these roll off trucks out here, they look expensive.

DARLENE: They are. I had to work and I worked hard, but I love to work. And it was a learning situation I think that prepared me for things later on in my life, so I'm grateful.
